Fortune Cookies, April 8, 2025

Fortunes from the local strip mall chinese/thai joint.

3 fortune cookie slips of paper

  1. Better is the enemy of good.
  2. Be prepared for a sudden, needed, and happy change in plans.
  3. A golden egg of opportunity falls into your lap this month.

Number 1 is a copy of Voltaire’s Perfect is the enemy of good. Number 2 gives more advice. At first I thought it was a fortune, referring to the future, but on closer read, it feints at the future, but does not predict anything. It provides the sage advice of being prepared. Let me assure you, I will be prepared, O Fortuna!

Fortune number 3 daringly predicts that a good opportunity will present to me this month. Unfortunately, it’s not very specific about what kind of opportunity. It’s apparently up to me to stay alert and recognize this opportunity.

Does the “happy change in plans” of fortune number 2 relate in some way to the golden egg of opportunity of number 3? I don’t know right now, it’s only the 8th of April. I’m going to keep my eyes on my lap where an opportunity is supposed to manifest.
