The man and the opportunity

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them.


Every lesson in school or college is an opportunity. Every examination is a chance in life. Every business transaction is an opportumity---an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manily, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends. Every proof of confidence in you is a great opportunity. Every responsibility thrust upon you strength and your honor is priceless. Existence is the privilege of effort, and when that privilege is met a man, opportunities to succeed along the line of your aptitude will come faster than you can use them.



Young men and women, why do you stand here all the day idle? Was the land all occupied before you were born? Has the earth ceased to yield its increase? Are the seats all taken? The position all field? The chances all gone? Are the resources of your country fully developed? Are the secrets of nature all mastered? Is there no way in which you can utilize these passing moments to improve yourself or benefit another?



Don't wait for your opportunity. Make it, as Napoleon made his in a hundred "impossible" situations. Make it, as all leaders of men, in war and in peace, have made their chances of success. Make it, as every man must, who would accomplish anything worth the effort. Golden opportunities are nothing to laziness, but industry makes the commonest chances golden.

we need to catch the opportunity in time, or it disappear fast. If people usually have no confidence in the event, they could lose opportunity easily. However, the opportunity is special we need to have confidence to catch them and prepare uor ability for our future.when it comes, we can catch them stedily.

thinking:
I think opportunity dosen't wait for people. Everyone also hopes to own their opportunity such as an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends etc. I dosen't stand there to wait for the chance:however, I need to pursuit the opportunity. I want to be positive to come true my dream. If I have an oppportunity, I will be well-prepared to use it.
