Fisherman Theme:
“… Inspecting the literature just before this man made his great discovery, and he didn’t know he was going to make this great discovery, at the time, and for a very short time afterwards. . . looking to see if he could find anything in common between all the cases of these great discoveries and he found two commonalities. Every one of them makes it clear that the most important single factor in his great discovery was intuition. And then they say the second greatest factor was the second intuition about 45 seconds later: about what to do about the discovery you have just made. . . before the fish gets off the line. You don’t really catch it in this society until you start realizing how important it really is. And you can’t light a cigarette, because you’ve got to go to work. What you did a half hour later didn’t make any difference. . . You either caught it or you lost it.”
