Opportunity


Opportunity

Opportunity is everywhere. Just look around and see the vast population of people around us. Whenever we talk about opportunity, people are always discouraged when told that opportunity is all around us. They wonder why they are blind to that which is seemingly visible to others. However, to simply explain this, we would say that as long as there are people living in a place, then there is an opportunity always waiting to be discovered. Solve a human need, and you will not fail to find people who are ready to pay for the service. Solve a dire human need, and richness will chase you fast down to the bank.Then if we can all do this, then where is the problem? It simply is that what people look for is not always what opportunity always looks like. You expect a product, but all you see is the raw material. You expect a beautiful dress, what you have is a fabric. All this time, it doesn’t click home that opportunity rarely comes fully clothed ready to go.

Opportunity is that little baby that is naked waiting to be clothed. It is that irregularity that is waiting to be made regular. That missing link is the role we have to play. However, human nature by default is lazy. Struggle is hard, and we don’t working long hours. Some of us hate work with a sincere passion. Therefore, it helps to realize that when we push ourselves to just do this one thing named work, then success and ultimately freedom becomes granted to us. In retrospect, we then wonder what we were scared of in the beginning. We then wish we would have started earlier. But then we forget that at that particular moment, we were ignorant of what really opportunity is--that ragged, unrealized end result whose beginning is right on our face.
