It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?

Looking at opportunity

Wherever there is work to be done, there is opportunity. And there is always work to be done everywhere.

When there are challenges to be overcome, there are ways to create great value. And the world is filled with challenges.

If there are problems that must be solved, there are countless avenues that lead to lasting success. And there is no shortage of problems waiting to be addressed.

When you see obstacles piled on top of problems, and when there seems to be no end to the work that must be done, what are you really seeing? You’re looking at great opportunity.

You’re looking at a world in which you can truly make a positive difference. You’re looking at an environment in which you can reach great heights by lifting up the lives of others.

Take a good look at all the work to be done, then step forward and get busy adding your own unique value. When you’re looking at opportunity, be the person who transforms it into success.

— Ralph Marston
