Just an observation Milton, now don’t fly off the handle I’m not pouring cold water on your epigram, just exploring the consequences, but by passing some opportunities up, we open the path for different possibilities that never would have arisen if we made the alternate choice, sorry if I’m interpreting your intention wrong, cheers David

And, of course, if one has two opportunities, that person should choose the one that holds out the most possibilities for them, right?

A little critique is healthy business, maybe destination is the same regardless of which route is taken

No problem, David. I think any epigram might open up such a discussion. I really appreciated your positive response. Never hesitate to respond as you did to anything I write.
