I've always been an avid reader. When I was a very young boy, perhaps 12-13, I read a biography of Joe Louis, the boxer.
He told of running over to a hill every afternoon, to watch the 2:00 pm train come by and blow it's whistle, when he was a little boy. Joe said he was astounded, at how inefficient the train was, because it seemed to be late, every day.
He then started noting the time the train came through, every afternoon. Turns out, the train was only "late" about once or twice a week.
We only notice, that which doesn't meet our needs or expectations.
One of the greatest lessons I've ever learned.
