So, they got to the end of the rainbow expecting a pot of gold and get nothing.
I prefer my way, at least I know there is always something waiting around the corner for me. Maybe it is just me, maybe I am just not power-hungry enough to understand the need to rush to the top and then sit there. It is kinda like going out with all your friends for the night. Except your friends get up that morning and do other stuff until and hour or two before the meeting time then they start to get ready, while one person jumped up that morning, got ready, and went to whereever they were meeting and sat there all day long waiting for their friends to meet them at the designated time.
Why not enjoy the whole day instead of rushing to the meeting place and waiting?
