Don’t climb a tree to look for fish.

-Chinese proverb

Don’t fish for strawberries at the bottom of the sea.

Whether we want love, a kind word, an honest answer, help, or even a special tool, we should look for it in likely places. If we look in unlikely places, we waste a lot of time and just end up, hurt and disappointed, without finding what we want.

Have you ever “climbed a tree to look for fish”? What did you learn? Where will you look next time?
