Instead, it’s the consistent and persistent activity that eventually pays off.

We walked by a brackish pond and one morning it appeared that two of the fish had babies. Not just a few babies. Not a lot of babies. There were two schools of baby fish which, at first glance, appeared to be underwater swarms of bees! There had to be hundreds of thousands of them!
