A certain young man wished to marry the farmer’s beautiful
daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The
farmer looked him over and said, “Son, go stand out in that
field. I’m going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you
can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can
marry my daughter.”
The young man thought this was fair deal enough; so he
went to stand in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn
door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull
he had ever seen. He decided there and then that one of the
next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran
over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture
out the back gate.
The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never
seen anything so big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing
the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.
Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice
than this one. They young man concluded and he ran to the
fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back
gate.

The door opened a third time. a smile came across his face.
This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever
seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he
positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact
moment. He grabbed… but the bull had no tail!
Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take
advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them
pass (often in hopes of something better), those
opportunities may not be available in a long while.
So always ensure you seize the moment and maximise make
the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
