An adage says, Opportunity wasted can never be regained another one say, Opportunity comes but once' These are only erroneous beliefs, opportunities come over and over again but should we because of that fail in grabbing it when it comes the first time? Most people are so lazy, so carefree and have this lackadaisical attitude towards life that they don't even recognise an opportunity when it comes much more grabbing it.
Many have had opportunities to become outstanding people, but they allow opportunities slip away because they viewed it as a problem.
An optimist sees an opportunity is every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.
Think about how many times you've had the opportunity to travel abroad, go to school or meet people that would better your life, or opportunity to work somewhere and you lost it due to your own carelessness. Be open to opportunities.
Fred smith was admitted into a Higher Institution of Learning to study Marine Engineering. He used the first year in school in gambling drinking, smoking and cultism, by the time he got to the second year, he was told to withdraw because he could not cope. Three years after he dropped out of school, his father who was supposed to sponsor his education died and that was the end of his career. He had the opportunity to go to school and be a better be person but he wasted it.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. (Thomas Edison.)
