Quotes Explained: Opportunity

Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along.

~Hugh Allen

Be involved in any task that I related to the field of your desire. If it is in the medical field, volunteer in hospitals, clinics, medical camps or missions. When you are in the thick and thin of the being involved, you meet people with connections, tools for development and chances to pounce on to advance in your desired field. You then realize that those small involvements get you closer to the dream faster.

When I look back now over my life and call to mind what I might have had simply for taking and did not take, my heart is like to break.
~William Hale White

Do not let current moments be future regrets. If you are inspired, do something, if you see an opportunity, cease it. If you foresee an accident, step up and prevent it. Just don’t have the awareness and not do anything about it. The heaviest burden, apart from sin is regret. Once past, you cannot retrieve the time and chance to make changes, so act now and let future moments be those of pride.

Opportunity is as scarce as oxygen; men fairly breathe it and do not know it.
~Doc Sane

It is not what you expect to see when you look for it. Rather, it is the end result in the transformation of what’s current and raw. Opportunity emerges in stepping up and seeing what few choose to see-the possibilities, the "could be’s" and "what if’s". It is that which poses just as a potential, yet still in its primitive manner. It always lurks in the yonder, yearning to be discovered. Simply jump up and cease it.

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.
