On Opportunity
Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.
- Orison Swett Marden
Life is full of everyday events. Sometimes these events turn into great things…discoveries, meetings, decisions. This happens some by chance and even more by decision. We are each given 24 hours. We sleep, we eat, we take care of the needs of ourselves and those in our care. The remainder of the time is what we are accountable for. Does any of us expect to have an extraordinary opportunity today? Probably not, but we do, of course, expect to have some common occassions – some of those everyday moments. These are the chances to make the extraordinary happen. Great things happen in the same minutes, hours and days that each of us is given. It is how we respond to them that makes them extraordianry.
