It is a great quote. Just about every major oil field in the world was missed by someone deciding not to drill an extra 100 feet. I know one copper play that is top ten in the world and only a few miles from an existing zinc-copper mine. The high grade copper ore at the new mine is a few hundred feet deeper, after a 100 years mining at the old mine no one bothered to drill deeper. I know a lot of people who gave up because they were afraid of the attention they might get from failing. For them it is better to point and laugh at people who failed than join their ranks. These people are easy to spot as they are always complaining about the weather and other things they cannot change. They never bothered to learn successful people fail 90% of the time. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I'd rather be the positive farmer, even if I was wrong 100% of the time. "I heard about this positive farmer and this negative farmer. When it would rain the positive farmer would say, “Lord, thank you for watering our crops.” The negative farmer would say, “Yeah, but if it keeps this up, it’s gonna rot the roots.” . When the sun came out, the positive farmer would say, “Lord, thank you for giving our plants valuable nutrients.” The negative farmer, “Yeah, but it keeps it up, it’s gonna scorch the crops.” One day, they went bird hunting together in a boat. The positive farmer just a new bird dog. He was so proud of him. He shot a bird, fell in the water, said to the negative farmer, “Watch this!” The dog jumped out of the boat, ran on top of the water, picked up the bird, ran back on top of the water, put it in a boat. HE said, “What’d you think?” The negative farmer said, “I should have known it. That dog can’t even swim.”
