Take The Easy Bucket

Take The Easy Bucket

Many, in fact, most of the things in life are NOT 'giveaways'.  In NBA jargon, there are NO 'gimme shots'.  You got to kick your butt and earn it.  Having said that, DON'T forget to Take The Easy Bucket because, like it or not, there are those 'low hanging fruits' which are up for your pickin' [if you DON'T miss it].  If and when you miss it, it dissipates in thin air because those opportunities a.k.a. 'low hanging fruits' will not wait, in eternity, for you to lift your finger.

Yesirrrrs fruits are fruits eventually for you to pick up and harvest but talking about harvesting is an entirely new ballgame.  Whereas, with minimal effort, there are tose EASY BUCKETS, those low hanging fruits for you to Take The Easy Bucket.  Problem for some of us, when it's that a low hanging fruit, we'll rather wait for it to drop on the ground.

As my personal sharing here, you could challenge me, why didn't I end up ensconced in those CxO-level roles?  Good question.  Likely, it is because I didn't [honestly] aim for those TOP PLUMS.  I thought I'm not cut for the high and dry tactics in the boardroom, the nip and tuck games embroiled with hidden maneuvers and 'beneath the surface' bickering that evolve to full-blown turmoil.  Not an excuse but this is just a personal affirmation of what DIDN'T happen.

Play "devil's advocate' if you may.  Why shouldn't we be angling for the 'high hanging' fruit?  YES YOU CAN, by all means. But we got to realize that you need an Xtra ladder, Xtra efforts, Xtra energy to even have a china man's chance to grab that fruit.   Whereas with those 'low hanging fruits', what else do you need?  All you need is your own personal gumption and appetite to go for it, grab the fruit and run away with it.  Just another no-brainer.

So, this is all life about.  We will grapple, struggle and wrestle and even brawl all we want but do we want to take the long, hard and circuitous road as against that narrow but simple straight point to point trek?  This reminds me as to why the demigods in the NBA are very good at.  At crunch time, the coaches would plot out the 'TAKE THE EASY BUCKET' plans which will catch the opponent totally off-guarded.  Swinging back to our lives, do consider to TAKE THE EASY BUCKET📌📌📌
