I
learned from experience that if there was something lacking, it might turn up
if I went after it, saved up for it, worked for it, but never if I just waited
for it. Ofcourse, you had to be lucky, too, although I discovered that the more
I worked the luckier I seemed to get. Besides, most of the happiness was in the
pursuit.
As my Uncle Benny used to say, "It’s
not the sugar that makes the tea sweet, but the stirring."
