An Analogy

After some slight thinking, I finally found an analogy to describe the situation that I am in. So let me ask you a theoritical question. (suppose you are a fisherman)

One hot day, with the sun glaring above, you are fishing by the side of a secluded lilly pond. All of a sudden, a arapaima (think a really really really expensice 5 metre arrowana) peers out lilly leaves. Now, catching this fish would mean having REAL good fortune. But here's the dilemma: you only have a scrawny rusting tackle. So therefoe, would you

A) throw in the tackle and try catching it, while risking to scare it away

B) Just sit back and watch this beauty before it slips back into the depths


I'll choose B), how about you?
