The Doorbell

A doorbell is a notification, not a negotiation. It tells you something has arrived — it does not tell you how long it will stand there.

Most people miss opportunity not because they never heard it, but because they heard it and assumed it would ring again.

The discipline is answering the door in the condition you are in, rather than waiting until you are presentable.

— Jonathan L. Harris
