Growing up as a child, my parents would make weekly trips to the grocery store.  At the check out line, there would always be candy and chocolates all lined up just waiting for me to get them.  I would really want one but i was too afraid to ask.

One day, my mom noticed me staring particularly hard at the candy.  I wanted her to ask if i wanted it, but she didnt.  In the end, i whispered “mom, can you buy me some candy?”  Without hesitation, she answered yes and soon after i finally had my treat!

I learned a valuable lesson that day.  You will not get what you do no ask for.  So if you want something, “SHOOT YOUR SHOT” because not acting upon something is a guaranteed way of not receiving anything.  PJSLB
