“There are no coincidences. Just opportunities you re too dumb to see, doors you ve been too blind to step through. And for every one you miss there s some poor fucking soul who s been left behind, waiting for someone to come along and show him the way out.”
“Whenever the right opportunity presents itself in your life; the wrong one also appears invariably to distract you from making the right choice. It s the battle of choices and opportunities...”
“Sometimes life puts us in places that we had never could have envisioned even in our most inventive moments. And when we arrive in those unexpected places, we have to squint through the windows of our souls and wipe clean the eyes of our hearts, for in our blinding routines and mediocre plots we had not anticipated the need of doing so.”
“There are certain encounters that one knows will never be repeated so long as one lives. The firstborn child can t be born twice; one s virginity, once lost, can never be found again; the sheer awe one feels when laying hand on a giant sequoia cannot be rivaled. Other times escape our notice, slipping by while we are preoccupied, and we do not appreciate their enormity until it s too late to do anything but regret that we had not paid more attention in the present. For me, the times I always regret are missed opportunities to say farewell to good people, to wish them long life and say to them in all sincerity, You build and do not destroy; you sow goodwill and read it; smiles bloom in the wake of your passing, and I will keep your kindness in trust and share it as occasion arises, so that your life will be a quenching draught of clam in a land of drought and stress. Too often I never get to say that when it should be said. Instead, I leave them with the equivalent of a Later, dude! only to discover some time afterward that there would never be a later for us.”
“How a person can judge talents with the versatility of human nature, tastes, and trends? Just start! Seize the opportunity!”
“The thing that maintains my confidence in my fellowman is realizing that the choices that they make might be a reflection of who they, but they are not a reflection of who they could be.”
“SWOT is cool, but strategic thinkers know that there is a point which: - Strengths become weaknesses - Weaknesses become strengths - Opportunities become threats - Threats become opportunities Strategic entrepreneurs and leaders find the greatest insights hiding behind SWOT. ”
“Life is filled with missed opportunities and technicalities find a way to smile anyway”
“What I liked about fishing at the break of day was to be a spectator to the whole of nature gently arousing itself from sleep. And it always seemed that part of that awakening was a fresh sense that this day was not ‘another day,’ for there is no such thing when the world awakens in this manner. Rather, every day was a ‘new day.”
“THE MORE YOU PREPARE YOURSELF, THE MORE THE OPPORTUNITIES GOD WILL GIVE YOU.”
“If all we see are ‘walls’ we would be wise to remember that without a wall we would lose the privilege of building a door, or have we forgotten that that’s what walls were made for.”
“Information Is Key To Opportunities”
“All my life, she thought, I have let things pass me by.”
“Each time a door closes, the rest of the world opens up. All we need to do is stop pounding on the door that just closed, turn around- and welcome the largeness of life that now lies open to our soul.”
“When the door of opportunity opens in your life, even if its a small slit. Learn to go through immediately and seize it since you do not know when it will reopen for you again.”
“No matter how many times you fail, you will get opportunities one after the other until you succeed.”
“Clear focus and hard work are almost like an opportunity.”
