Look Around as Well as Forward

A passenger on a train that stopped to refuel looked out the window at the beautiful summer countryside. Suddenly a freight train pulled up on the adjoining track, blocking the view. "That always happens!" exclaimed the passenger, "Just as I'm enjoying the view, another train comes along and ruins it." The person sharing his seat, an older woman who had been sitting quietly, said, "That does happen a lot, but have you ever stopped to think that there are windows on both sides of this car?" The passenger looked around and saw that out the other windows he could see blue sky, clouds, and sparkling lake. "I've often found," said the woman, "that a lot depends on looking in more than one direction."
