The Odds

I read a survey yesterday
that claimed
in my region
there were 10 unemployed teachers
for every vacant teaching position.

Yesterday, one of my buddies
landed a prime teaching position.

There are thousands of romance novels
published every year.
The odds of having a bestseller
are slim.

Yet I know many writers
who had a bestselling novel
last year.

We’ve all heard the stats
about starting businesses and succeeding.
They’re dismal and can be discouraging.

Yet business start ups succeed every damn day.

If you wait for the odds
to be in your favor,
you’ll never accomplish anything great.

Start NOW.
