Filosophy of Phishing 47 - Good is Bad

[Mike G]

“…when fishing is easy we never learn anything. It takes poor fishing to extract the last bit of resourcefulness from the angler’s brain in the effort to get at least a slight measure of success. But when it is so good that everyone gets his limit there is really nothing much to talk or write about. … You begin to realize that it is much more interesting and satisfying to catch only one fish under adverse conditions than it is to catch fifty when they are coming easy.”

Not me, I'd much rather catch 50 than 1.

Agreed. I would rather gain my knowledge from reading about the misfortunes of others and apply what was learned to avoid such misfortune.

Good is good, bad isn't so good.

you need to learn from success as well as failure in any endeavour
