Gardening or Hunting?

I had a conversation with a colleague who said "We aren't farmers or gardeners waiting for things to grow, but go out, find, hunt and kill our prey (get business).  Some how that seemed very distinct from who I am.  i think relationships and business grow by intention and patience.  I have had the blessing of lots of voluntary plans (business opportunities) borne of efforts previously done (composting, gardening - keeping commitments, making binding agreements).

With neighbors in the burbs, there is such a transitional attitude.  People come and go, neighbors rarely talk, even with those living right next to them.  I wonder if that grows harvest as productive as those which we actively work to cultivate.  

What do you  think?
