About This Quote

If there is a wasp in the room, I’d like to be able to see it. We all have some things that we’d like to accomplish but we feel helpless when they are out of our reach. We also have things we would do if only we could see what we were doing. For example, I’d like to be able to fish more often without having to go to a bait shop. When I fish, I’d rather not need a bait shop.
