Opportunity. Defined as (1.) a chance for advancement, progress or profit and (2.) a favorable circumstance or occasion. Opportunity can be in many forms and shapes. As they say opportunity comes in often times and sometimes just once.
Let me tell you a story about a boy that has problems on his self.
In a farmland, there was a boy that sits under a huge acacia tree and deeply thinking. An old farmer pass by him and ask “What’s the problem little boy?” “Nothing! Just thinking if which one I should put first, my studies, my work or my girlfriend.” The boy responded.
Unknowingly, the old man challenged the boy. “How can you put the half-pail big stones, half-pail small stones, half-pail sand and half-pail water in a pail?”
The boy was surprised and thinks. He tried to put them all to the pail. But the pail was full and cannot fit all. So the boy asked the old man if how he can put them all.
“Simple little boy. You put the big stones first, second the small stones, third the sand and lastly the water.” He explained. “Stones symbolizes opportunities in life, there are big and small opportunities and as well as there are opportunities that needs to be grabbed once comes and there are opportunities that should be set aside.” “Now think of the opportunity that you need to grab first. Choose the important one.” He added.
The boy was brightened up and decided to choose for the important one and now, the boy became successful.
Truly our life should be controlled by us. We should think of the right thing that we want our selves to be in the future. Grab the BIG Opportunity that comes, don’t let it pass by. Remember: “Our today is the foundation of our future.”
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.- Thomas A. Edison
