Lessons from the Bahamas – part 3

One day, we went deep sea fishing. It was a pretty expensive trip given the cost of the boat and all the equipment, we travelled miles off-shore and whilst it was a great experience, and despite our crews very best endeavours, no fish were caught.  We enjoyed the ride, enjoyed seeing flying fish, and the view of the island from the sea but it was a relatively poor return on investment.  By comparison, we went on a birding trip, at a fraction of the price, and just a few yards off one of the main roads, were shown a cave that was full of bats… it was amazing.  We also found humming birds and many other bird species, it was great.  Sometimes the really rewarding things are under our noses, such as when we were walking back from a meal one night, and I saw what I thought was a statue just over a garden wall, and then it moved!  It turned out to be a night heron just a few feet away. Some times you can get a huge ROI on the smallest of investments. It is a proven fact that a little attention will boost productivity.
