The honeybee looks for nectar in flowers, irrespective of the surroundings of the flowers. So, whether in a garden or a landfill, the honeybee focuses on nectar.
On the other hand, the housefly looks for waste and dead tissues. If it makes it into a palace, it makes the waste area its home, ignoring all the splendours.
These two insects teach us something: most times, our environment is not always the problem but our mindsets. If we become like the honeybee, we will keep looking for nectar (opportunities) even in all places.

But if we act like the housefly, even in abundance of opportunities, we see none.
I study the honeybee and how diligent it is to look for nectar in flowers, irrespective of where they’re situated. I also watch the housefly, and how it prefers wastes and dead tissues, even when in palaces.
I’ve come to this conclusion: the greatest victory happens when a person wins over his mindset.
The honeybee finds opportunities in all places while the housefly, even in abundance, prefers to feed on dead tissues.
