I just met an interesting writer on Medium. Reading the first article made me come to a very intriguing idea.
He wrote, ‘Sometimes life is about being in the right place at the right time.’ Which sounded very thought-provoking to me.

“It almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable, the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa… Often, the sweeter the first fruit of a habit, the more bitter are its later fruits.” — Claude Frédéric Bastiat
We often overlook the long-term effects due to our limited perspective. Surely, one cannot see the whole big picture standing right in front of it.
