Taking opportunities as they present themselves

Things are ticking over ok and I have gained some good traction with my research project; however, the work situation still isn't flash... There are some great people over here guiding me and keeping me in-line. One of which reminded me about the principle of taking opportunities as they present themselves! So here's how it works: At the moment the receptionist at the private practice is putting one patient per day in my book yet I have to stay there for the whole day and so I take the opportunity to enjoy the airconditioned environment and free lunch to work comfortably on research proposals, The university has asked me to provide two sample lectures for assessing my teaching ability and so I lecture on topics that the students have fallen behind in (because the university won't hire a lecturer), there are three public holidays next week and so I decided to go on a week long cycle tour, I got myself on the wrong side of the Mekong today and so I took the opportunity to go on the new bridge, I got a bit hot and flustered after 140km and so I took the opportunity to hitch a ride in the slip stream of a local tractor (a cruzy 25km/hr), I ended up at an overpriced resort and so I took the opportunity to cool down in their aircon and ask the waiters about a cheap guest house... Pretty much life is good.... High on endorphins and amping for tomorrow's ride... Maybe I should start a cycle touring business!!
