TIME AND CHANCE
This is something that I had developed for different purposes, but I realized I could apply it to my program as well, and hopefully it can help someone else, like it helped me.
I believe that time and chance happen to us all. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. While I believe we all "make our own luck", I also believe that luck visits each of us from time to time. Good a...nd bad visits each of us in our breeding programs. It is how we capitalize on the good, and how we work through the bad that decides how successful we can be. When breedings end up producing better than you expected, how do you capitalize on this success? When things in your program dont go as you hoped, do you give up or work harder? You see, breeders are not necessarily more successful because they're smarter, breeders are more successful because they work harder, and because of how they respond to adversity. "The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, niether yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill, but time and chance happeneth to them all" -
Ecclesiastes
I dont think this passage is saying that men of skill dont gain favor, or the battle doesnt go to the strong, I think what its saying is that when time and chance happened to them all, he who is strong capitalized on his opportunities.
The difference between breeders is their breeding principles & their work ethic. Do we capitalize on time and chance? Make every moment count!
