A THOUGHT ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES


Image credit: www.ofn.org

The day breaks, chasing away the night
A new day, different from any other
Men wake up, some with hopes and aspirations,
Others, to just live on
But one thing is certain, it is a new day with new Opportunities

Just as a yolk is carefully covered by a shell
Each day covers the Opportunities in it
The foolish only looks forward to the day
But the wise looks forward to the Opportunities in it
Tapping into them, and getting propelled to higher grounds

Higher grounds with newer Opportunities
Higher grounds that moves a man closer to achieving his goals
That is where men who see Opportunities get to.
Did I say men who see Opportunities?
Rather, men who make use of Opportunities


That is another big task, one might say
Recognizing Opportunities is a thing, making use of them is another
But success resides only with a person who can do the two
Who then is a faithful and wise servant who can take full advantage of an Opportunity before it slips off?
Certainly, a few

Opportunity comes but once is a saying I've come to know
But I choose to disagree
It comes more than once but in a different form and way
Who then is a faithful and wise servant who would learn from earlier mistakes and prevent another Opportunity from slipping off?
Certainly, a few

This is what I've come to realize:
Opportunities present themselves to everybody
But they choose to work with a few wise ones
The wise ones who would not allow the oil in their lamps to go dry
For Opportunities mostly come like a bridegroom, who cometh at night

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Set goals, and passionately pursue them without giving up - 
That will prepare you for the day the Opportunities would come
Then look forward to each day with high hopes, as Opportunities come when one least expect.
That is my submission.
