Opportunity [00:00:17]
The air we breathe is so freely available [00:00:19]
that we take it for granted. [00:00:22]
Yet without it we could not[00:00:24]
survive more than a few minutes. [00:00:26]
For the most part, [00:00:29]
the same air is available to everyone, [00:00:30]
and everyone needs it. [00:00:33]
Some people use the air to sustain them [00:00:35]
while they sit around [00:00:38]
and feel sorry for themselves. [00:00:39]
Others breathe in the air [00:00:42]
and use the energy it provides [00:00:43]
to make a magnificent life for themselves. [00:00:45]
Opportunity is the same way. [00:00:49]
It is everywhere. [00:00:51]
Opportunity is so freely available [00:00:53]
that we take it for granted. [00:00:55]
Yet opportunity alone is [00:00:57]
not enough to create success. [00:00:59]
Opportunity must be seized and acted upon [00:01:01]
in order to have value. [00:01:05]
So many people are so anxious to "get in" [00:01:07]
on a "ground floor opportunity", [00:01:10]
as if the opportunity will do all the work. [00:01:13]
That's impossible. [00:01:16]
Just as you need air to breathe, [00:01:17]
you need opportunity to succeed. [00:01:20]
It takes more than just breathing [00:01:22]
in the fresh air of opportunity, however. [00:01:24]
You must make use of that opportunity. [00:01:27]
That's not up to the opportunity. [00:01:30]
That's up to you. [00:01:32]
It doesn't matter [00:01:33]
what "floor" the opportunity is on. [00:01:34]
What matters is what you do with it. [00:01:37]
