Thinking Out Loud: Will You Always Wonder?

Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Cervantes  work, Don Quixote.

“He who does not know how to take advantage of luck when it comes to him, has no right to complain if it gives him the go-by . . .” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Note: At one point in my career I had a wonderful colleague who had much more experience than I. She gave me this piece of advice: When an opportunity comes by, grab it. Because it probably won’t come by again. My experience proved her to be right. I made some mistakes and let good opportunities pass me by. I also had wonderful adventures because I grabbed the opportunity knowing that it would not come by again. I do think luck favors the bold. Dare to take a risk. You never know until you know. And, if you play it safe, you’ll always wonder what might have happened if.
