Fortune favors the prepared mind
I had a quick business lunch yesterday at the Tai Pan - my favorite little Chinese restaurant in Springfield. This message was in my fortune cookie: "Sell your ideas, they are totally acceptable." Nice! (And by the way, the title of this blog post is from Louis Pasteur, who knew well from his own experience that fortune does, indeed ,favor the prepared mind.)
