Opportunities are not waiting, opportunities are created by people, and opportunities always love those who are always ready. So the opportunity will come only if you have certain ability. If you are not always ready, even if the opportunity comes, you don't know what an opportunity is. You can't just wait, you must rely on your mind to prepare and create opportunities.
Opportunity is not for everyone, it will appear when you don't want it. In real life, why do some people succeed and some people fail? This is why everyone has a different attitude. Some people look for and try to create opportunities when they are ready, so they succeed after their efforts. On the other hand, some people hold an indifferent attitude and wait for the opportunity to come. They didn't succeed because you didn't take the initiative to look for opportunities, and opportunities never came to you. The so-called "it's now or never." Sometimes there is only one chance. If you don't make good use of it, it will leave you quietly. By the time you wake up and want to use it, it's too late.
Everyone who is eager for success can't wait for an opportunity. Opportunity is like a magic wand in the hands of gods, which affects people's fate and success or failure. Success, it only loves those who can seize and create opportunities, and will eventually succeed; Those who don't try to seize the opportunity and ignore it can only be dominated by regret and indifference. Many times, it is opportunity that determines a person's life.
In the history of our country, there is a story of missing the opportunity, losing power and humiliating the country, and it is too late to regret it, which has been taken as a warning by the world.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao competed for the Central Plains. At the beginning, Cao Cao's strength was far less than Yuan Shao's. Yuan Shao is not only strong and strong, but also occupies rich places such as Hebei and is surrounded by talented people. So Yuan Shao ignored Cao Cao, which was very easy. It was not until later when it was difficult to decide whether to win or lose that I felt like an abyss.
Fortunately, many wise people around him put forward good plans for the world, but he just "discussed without deciding." For example, the counselor Ju Shou suggested to him that the emperor should be welcomed in the west, and he should be the emperor and become a vassal. He will follow his plan. Later, another counselor, Guo Tu, said, "The Han Dynasty will die, and it will be difficult to prosper. It is not a good policy to welcome the son of heaven and be controlled by him now. " Finally, Ju Shou tried hard to persuade: "If you don't decide early, there must be a wise man first. The right to lose opportunities, work is not tired, and you should make plans early. " Although Yuan Shao knew the danger was coming, he was still hesitant and didn't know which plan to take. Finally, he followed Guo Tu's advice.
It was not until later that Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Han Xian to Xuchang, holding the emperor as a vassal, and many counties and counties joined him. At this time, Yuan Shaocai regretted it. Yuan Shao was finally destroyed by Cao Cao.
Many people may see the opportunity, but because everyone has different attitudes towards psychology, some people seize it and some people give it up easily. Although many people have been running around all their lives, they are tired and bitter, but because they didn't seize the opportunity, they eventually returned empty-handed and accomplished nothing. Looking back, they regretted not having been there, but once the opportunity passed, they never came back. It is obvious that the key to seize the opportunity is action, not just fantasy. Action can succeed, and fantasy can only be said to be wrong.
The famous playwright Bernard Shaw once said a very philosophical sentence: "People always blame their present situation on luck, but I don't believe in luck. In my opinion, anyone who gets ahead is lucky enough to find his own goal on his own initiative; If they can't find it, they will create luck. "
Indeed, opportunities are not expected or waiting. In many cases, you have to discover, explore and even create by yourself. Opportunities never fall from the sky. Whether you can get an opportunity depends mainly on your working ability, determination to act, imagination, experience and your motivation for the goal. In fact, sometimes, life is not only one chance. The most rare thing is to have the courage to recognize your weaknesses and look for a second chance after losing the first opportunity. Only by constantly exploring and striving to create can we succeed. The different life experiences of these two American girls in job hunting illustrate this point well.
One of the two girls is Sylvia and the other is Cindy.
Sylvia was born in a very good family background. Her father is a famous plastic surgeon in Boston and her mother is a professor in a famous university. Her family gave her a lot of help. For some people, she has every chance to realize her dream.
Sylvia's ideal is to be an excellent program host. She fully believes that she has the ability to do this job well, because she feels that when she gets along with others, everyone is willing to talk to her, and she is willing to express her inner thoughts. She often says to others, "As long as someone can give me a chance to be on TV, I believe I will succeed." After graduating from college, Sylvia waited for more than a year, and no one ever gave her a chance to be on TV. So she became anxious, depressed and uneasy, and she kept praying for God to give her a chance. However, the opportunity did not come after all.
Cindy's situation is very different from Sylvia's. Cindy's family condition is very poor, and her parents are very ordinary people. They run for their lives every day and don't care about Cindy at all. Cindy has no fixed financial resources for studying. So she works during the day and goes to night school at UCLA. The only thing they have in common is that they have the same ideal, and Cindy also wants to be a program host.
After graduation, Cindy didn't wait endlessly like Sylvia did. In order to get a career that suits her wishes, she went to every radio and TV station in Los Angeles. However, she got disappointing answers everywhere: "We only recruit people with work experience." However, for Cindy, this request is so unreasonable. How can you gain experience without a chance? Cindy argued with everyone she met. Although Cindy got the same result as Sylvia at this time, she didn't just wait unrealistically like Sylvia did.
She began to create opportunities for herself. For several months in a row, she carefully browsed various magazines on radio and television, and she also asked people to inquire about various possible job opportunities.
Finally, one day, she found an advertisement in the newspaper that excited her: a small TV station in North Dakota was looking for a girl who predicted the weather. North Dakota is in the north of the United States, where it is very cold and often snows. Cindy doesn't like snow very much, but she can't care so much. She urgently needs to go there. She thought, as long as it has something to do with TV, I would do anything. It doesn't matter whether it snows or hurricanes.
So, after working in North Dakota for two years, Cindy has accumulated rich work experience. Cindy found a position almost easily when she applied for a job in Los Angeles TV again. A few years later, Cindy was promoted and became a famous TV presenter. I finally realized my dream.
From Cindy and Sylvia, we can clearly see the different life trajectories of winners and losers. Cindy keeps practicing and accumulating experience to create all possible opportunities for her success. Sylvia, on the other hand, has been living in fantasy, waiting for an opportunity and expecting a big pie to fall from the sky. However, time flies and she has accomplished nothing. Compared with Cindy, Sylvia is obviously a weak person in life.
As the saying goes, "Everything comes to him who waits", so does opportunity. Opportunity favors the willing. It only pays attention to those who are prepared, only favors those who know how to pursue, and only likes those who have ideals. If you are pessimistic, disappointed and discouraged all day, if you are careless, or if you are in adversity, then opportunities will not come automatically. Poems such as "Since ancient times, talents have suffered more, and there are fewer playboys and more brave men" and "Good opportunities can't wait, only those who work hard can conquer nature" tell us how important it is to seize and seek opportunities in our lives.
Therefore, a successful person always strives to move forward. They don't blame others, they don't blame others, but create opportunities and luck by themselves. If you want to succeed, please try to create opportunities, so waiting will only be a lost opportunity.
Opportunities are never obtained by accident, but are fully captured in the step-by-step pursuit. If you want to get an opportunity, you must take the initiative to extend your hand and take action to prepare for the opportunity. If you just wait for an opportunity to come to you, it's impossible. Many opportunities in life are created by yourself. If a person can make use of external opportunities and create their own opportunities, then he has a great possibility of success and a higher degree of success.
Therefore, successful people sum up: for a person, opportunities can be found or lost. If you want to get it, you must actively look for opportunities, keenly identify opportunities, seize opportunities decisively, and use opportunities accurately. You can't just pin your hopes on those accidental events, but also passively wait for opportunities with the luck of waiting for him.
In real life, we often hear some people complain about their bad luck. They blame others, blame their parents for not creating good conditions for themselves, blame society for not providing them with good opportunities, and feel that successful people have caught up with good times and good places ... However, they have done nothing for themselves except complaining and secretly complaining. Such people don't create opportunities, they just wait passively. However, failure belongs to these people.
God is always fair and will give everyone some big and small opportunities fairly. Some people are good at grasping opportunities and achieving success, while others don't care about every opportunity and eventually accomplish nothing.
Don't let "opportunities slip away", opportunities are very important to people. The core of grasping the opportunity is action, otherwise, even the best opportunity will be lost.
It is often said that success and failure are unattainable peaks. As long as you keep working hard, you can climb to the top. Others say that success and failure are an insurmountable gap. As long as you have the patience to pursue them, you can cross them. In fact, success and failure are only the difference of "thinking", which is a change of concept, that is to say, we should update traditional concepts, change thinking patterns in time and correct our attitude towards life. If the mountain is too high, don't climb it. If the ditch is too dangerous, don't cross it. Look for opportunities. Only by recognizing the situation clearly can we keep pace with the times. Open your eyes, find and seek, never wait for opportunities, use your wisdom, and persist in fighting for your ideals and goals. Only by looking for opportunities can you have a chance to shake hands with success. On the other hand, you can only watch the opportunity fly quietly.
What are the opportunities? You don't wait for the rabbit to come, then the rabbit comes, you catch it, and you succeed. Instead, we should rely on our own efforts to improve our own quality, strive to seize every opportunity to hone and exercise ourselves, seize the opportunity to learn and improve, and there will be more chances of success.
There is never a free lunch in this world, and there is no pie falling from the sky.
Comments: The opportunity was not given by others, but by myself. Only by seizing the opportunity can we succeed. People who just complain about the bad environment and unfair fate all day will never reach the other side of success. Remember, there will be no pie in the sky. It is better to act than to complain, and fate is in our own hands.
