"Remember to conduct yourself in life as if at a banquet. As something being passed around comes to you, reach out your hand and take a moderate helping. Does it pass you by? Don't stop it. It hasn't come yet? Don't burn in desire for it, but wait until it arrives in front of you. Act this way with children, a spouse, toward position, with wealth--one day it will make you worthy of a banquet with the gods."

Epictetus, Enchiridion, 15.

Do you also find that most advice works selectively?

As a shorter guy I have to reach out and grab any branch that passes near me. Sitting back and waiting for it to come to me wouldn't work.

My take is that if you can't reach the branch, the appropriate response is not to stew in anger and frustration but to be grateful that you have other ways of getting what you want. Respond with patience and ingenuity, enjoy what you can reach, and help another person to reach that branch. You'll get what you want if you are not distracted by a burning desire.

He does after all say "reach out your hand and take." So I see.

So I guess it would have been impolite to yell at the dude carrying a tray of apps to "come back over here, man. you and I are gonna be friends!"

I'd think he would say you are doing what is in your control, and he would disapprove of any yearning for a response from employers (which you can't control).
