It is not who will eat beans, but who will pick it that is scarce.

About This Quote

It is not who will eat beans, but who will pick it that is scarce. The world is full of people who are willing to pass up good things in their life because they are too caught up with the bad things. They are worried about things that have no bearing on them whatsoever. This quote says that our focus should be on what we can control instead of what’s out of our control. We all have things that occur in our lives that we cannot change, but that doesn’t mean we cannot improve ourselves and get what we want.
