Seizing an opportunity is the first and most important step towards success. We often hear someone complaining that they can’t succeed because of lack of opportunities. Actually, opportunities exist around us all the time, but not everyone can seize them, just like the two hunters in the picture. While they are arguing about the best way to cook a swan if they catch one, a swan is flying over the head of them. Obviously, they will miss this swan if they keep arguing instead of shooting it. This picture reminds me of some people in real life who always think about what they will gain if they have an opportunity to do a particular thing. While they are imagining, opportunities are passing them by. Therefore, if we want to achieve success, what we should do is prepare to take advantages of good opportunities and once a chance appears, we should try our best to seize it. 查看更多
