All Is Fish That Comes To the Nest / All Is Grist That Comes To the Mill

There is absolutely nothing in life that can be counted out as completely useless. A wise man makes use of all opportunities that come to him. To him, there is nothing that cannot be utilized in his endeavors for success. A fisherman makes money out of all fish that gets entangled in his net. So is a miller who makes use of all grain that come to him. For them, there is nothing meager, or trifling. So should a man be who wants to achieve his goals in life. Every opportunity that life offers is invaluable. Real opportunities can be highly deceiving. On the face, they might look dull and without scope. But a truly ambitious person can turn them out into golden ones in the long run. Life on the whole is never worthless or useless. The only thing that prevents it from yielding value is our own irresponsibility and laziness. In a way, all of us are millers and fisherman in life. To us no fish is useless and no grain devoid of value.
