Work the opportunity
Opportunity can be offered, but its benefits cannot be passively conferred. Those benefits are available only to people who step up and act upon the opportunity. — Ralph Marston
Success often depends on being in the right place at the right time. Yet favorable circumstances, as necessary as they may be, are not sufficient.
Access to opportunity is just the beginning. The real value arises as you work the opportunity.
The realization of any opportunity’s potential value is not a foregone conclusion. To have good things come from your opportunities, good, sustained effort must come from you.
The best opportunities usually present themselves as difficult challenges, not as distinct advantages. Recognize the opportunity in each challenge, work through that challenge, and transform potential into actual value.
The benefit of any opportunity depends on what you do with it. See the possibilities, work the opportunity, and bring new goodness to life.
