What is an Opportunity?
An Opportunity is not luck; it is a favorable situation for attaining a goal, which can be found around you. It is up to you to make it a reality, it doesn’t simply happen by it selves. You must prepare yourself to recognize an opportunity and to seize that opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self image with which you are able to live with self-respect. You must knock and open the door leading to your destiny, that’s the opportunity.
The farmer that plants a giant oak tree grown from a tiny acorn knows that the potential of its greatness lies in the acorn.
If you take an opportunity when it's the size of an acorn, and it grows into the oak tree, people will brag about what a great tree-grower you are.
After it is visible, then they can now see the opportunity - not an acorn, but an oak tree.

There are at least six key signs to recognize that you have an opportunity;
- You must see the end, not the beginning.
- You must get an opportunist's mindset.
- You must avoid looking for an easy way to finish.
- You must be prepared for the day of opportunity - because it's disguised as now.
- You must take it with both hands and don't let go until you succeed – be passionate.
- You must make the most of every circumstance.
“When one door closes, another opens;
but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
– Alexander Graham Bell.
