Simon cat has enjoyed the snowy view today. He spent an entire hour sitting motionless on the window sill watching my feathered friends gorging themselves on bird seed. I have been feeding the birds of Shady Grove subdivision since I bought my house 6 years ago. Simon has been terrorizing those same birds since he adopted me on March 19, 2005.
Seeing Simon and the birds has taught me a few lessons:
1 - Be prepared. Have the knowledge, skills, and tools in place. Study your goal.
2 - Patience is the key to success.
3 - But don't wait to long or your oppurtunity will fly away.
4 - When the time is right, strike hard and fast. Hesitation means failure.
5 - Take only what you can handle. Going for two birds at once means no bird at all.
6 - Celebrate your success. Simon does this by decapitating the bird. I prefer a good chocolate
7 - Share the bounty. Simon leaves the poor headless creature on the front mat for me. I like to treat my friends and family with my time and profit.
