“Some men go through a forest and see no firewood.” —English proverb

We all know firewood is made from trees, however we have to chop the tree down first in order to get firewood. Trees are the raw material resource, but we have to see what trees could provide for us. A person walking in the forest has an abundance of firewood around them but if they don’t see the potential in the resource, they will not have what they need. They miss what is in front of them because they are unobservant and unwilling to seek solutions that aren’t done for them. Success depends on our mindset and creativity. Some people will have answers right in their faces and still will not recognize solutions and possibilities because it’s not obvious. We have to open our minds and see potential in things around us.
