Every time I go swimming in the ocean, someone inevitably warns me: Watch out for sharks! Of course, I always do, but I've never seen one. I've never even heard the "bom-bom-bom-bom" music that plays in the background when sharks come near. And it's a good thing, because once you hear the music, it's probably too late.
I've been warned to watch out for sharks, but no one has ever said to me, "Watch out for the jelly fish." The fact is, jelly fish are far more dangerous. Each year they kill more people than sharks do.
We tend to spend our lives worrying about the sharks (whether we ever go near the water or not), because sharks are big and scary. And we tend to ignore real threats because, by themselves, they're not all that intimidating.
Don't let the little things in life fool you. You ignore them at your own peril!
