Wait

One of the ways me and Josh bond at times, is when we play video games. One of which is, "Call of Duty 2" for the xbox 360. The other day, we finally got to the American campaign, and the simulation of D-day, and storming the beaches of Normandy. Josh never wants to play, but he likes to watch me play it. At times, I forget to use strategy, and just run out on the field trying to take out as many Germans as I can. After a while, you learn to wait, fire, and stay alive. There was one section, where I didn't listen to the platoon leader on the game, and got decimated by a German panzer tank.

"Wait for reinforcements."

Once, I did, an huge American tank came and blew away the Panzer. I know it's just a cheesy video game, but I thought how applicable that is to my life. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and wait. I can get in such a hurry to get to the next thing, that I loose track of what's right in front of me.
