Your Ideas, Your Opportunities
They say be in the right place at the right time (punctuality)
There will always be
opportunities for those who recognize and pursue them. The lucky people are simply who've taken more chances than average.
We've friends who do everything perfectly and achieve perfect outcomes (success ) and praises from everyone.
How do they do that?
It's not fate, lucky nor witchcraft. People who achieve consistent success know how how to pick
opportunities in whatever they want as
Michael Dell recommends that, it's through curiosity and looking at opportunities in New ways that we've our paths.
As a matter of fact, you don't need lucky or miracles to making things happen.
You need strategic plans, hard work, difference, confidence, self control and a mind that explores beyond the box.
To tell you the truth, if you don't explore out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is.
Ideas ain't the same as opportunities though they are similar.
Most believe that, an idea alone will guarantee them success and wealth.
They might be true but only if they don't know if they don't know.
What they ignore is that, it takes time, efforts and resources to turn an idea into opportunity although not every idea turns into opportunity as
Thomas Edison puts it that, most people miss opportunities because they
(opportunities) are dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Take a look at a plant for instance, it requires the desire, care and nurturing of the gardener inorder to turn the seed into a small plant and hopefully a large tree.
The same applies to
opportunities because sometimes we've to create
opportunities by ourselves instead of depending on the existence of
common and natural opportunities which are being created by others and that's why
Milton Berlie said, if
opportunities don't knock,build a door.
An idea may be an opportunity for one person and yet not be interesting to another person.
Start with that
idea that seems a little and useless in your mind; feed it with desire, care, hard work, resources and passion just like the
gardener does with a plant (s), and you will see it growing into a large plant.
Your
idea (s) may face critics, rejections and failures on the process but you shouldn't give up nor allowing excuses because
excuses will always be there for you buy opportunities won't.
This Lady was diagnosed with clinical depression. Her marriage had failed and she was jobless with a dependant child.
She was on a four hours delayed train journey from Manchester to London when she came up with this
idea.
And she started to write a book about the wizard. She then finished her manuscript, took it to twelve(12) publishers and was rejected by all.
Believe it or not, she's
Jack Rowling the author of
Harry Porter.
Anyone can encounter
opportunities when they put in the work to step into the right place at the right time as
Prof. Peter Vogal puts it that, venture
ideas take inspiration but venture
opportunities need perspiration.
Don't hesitate when
opportunities come your way,grab them as much as you can and if they
(opportunities) don't come, don't forget about
Albeit Enstein that, in the middle of
difficulty lies
opportunities then create one.
