"I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." - Lily Tomlin
A young man was telling a story in a book about how for months he prayed to God asking
for a bicycle and a desk. Discouraged and in tears one night, this kid
sought his God to question Him "Why are you forgetting me? I've been
praying ever so diligently" God responded; "You've asked for nothing, I
have no idea what bicycle you want, there are thousands of
varieties...and the desk? How big? What colour? Do you want a chair
too?" The boy stirred up his faith and his Design Cap and captured his
dream bike and desk on paper. He wanted an American bike (was from Asia)
and a desk made of Philippine mahogany. After some time in thought, he
went back to sleep. A few months later he had the exact bicycle and the
desk he longed for.
Have you ever entered any shop but you
didn't have an exact idea of what you wanted. how long did it take
before you were attended to? You get what you want quicker, when you
have specifics. What do you want? Looking for a spouse? Have you clearly
written down exactly what qualities he/she should posses? What they
look like, sound like, do for a living? Whatever.
