Sometimes when I am cooking spaghetti, I am in a hurry and hope that it is done and will pull out a few pieces and throw them hoping they will stick. Other times, I KNOW the spaghetti is done and pull out a piece and throw it knowing it will stick. How many times in our lives are we in a situation where it is ok to just throw as much spaghetti as we can toward the refrigerator just hoping that some of it will stick? For example, with our children, don't we try to teach them everything that we can think of before they leave home hoping that some of it will stick? We throw all the wisdom we can think of at the refrigerator of their lives and hope that when it comes down to it, some of it sticks? Still other times, we are down to the wire of a situation and before we can throw the spaghetti we have to have an educated guess, a certainty that the spaghetti will stick when we throw it. In these times, we can't afford error. We HAVE to make it stick.
What situations are you dealing with or have dealt with that you tried to just throw as much effort as you could toward it hoping some of it was successful? Then what situations are you dealing with where you can't afford error and you have to know the effort will be successful before you invest in it?
Let me know what you think.
