Chapter 14 The Greatest Discovery 2
Opportunity is momentary, action should be fast

Many of the most famous people are famous because they were born at the right time, or because they had a good opportunity to develop their talents.And many people have nothing to do with their talents because they haven't caught up with the good timing.But we should have this idea: Maybe we are buried now, maybe one day we will have the opportunity to display our talents, and we will be able to show our talents.

The old man of opportunity will give you his hair first, if you don't catch it, when you regret it, you can only touch his bald head.Even if a person is well-educated and has the ability to command everyone, he still needs to have a suitable opportunity to show him, otherwise he is just a mediocre person who is not valued by others.On the road to failure, there are missed opportunities everywhere.Those who sit and wait for opportunity to come through the front door often don't realize that opportunity can also come through the back window.Only those who take the initiative to attack can detect and seize opportunities.

An explorer saw an old farmer sitting on a tree stump smoking a pipe in the forest, so he greeted him and said, "Hi, what are you doing here?"

The old farmer replied: "Once when I was about to cut trees, there was a strong wind and rain, which knocked down many towering trees, which saved me a lot of energy."

"Lucky you!"

"You're right. Another time, lightning set fire to the hay I was about to burn."

"What a miracle! What are you going to do now?"

"I'm waiting for an earthquake to pop the potatoes out of the ground."

The old farmer is a man who sits and waits for his chance. Good luck sometimes visits him, but it cannot always visit him. He is just wasting time sitting on the stump.Explorers are those who actively look for opportunities. When opportunities arise, they will become a blockbuster and become a real success.

Great achievements will always belong to those who are full of fighting spirit, not those who are blindly waiting.

In the United States, a kind of outdoor sports shoes called "Crocs" are very popular. They are soft and comfortable, anti-odor and sweat-proof, easy to drain and sand, and have a stylish appearance.The sneakers came from a dream of the three founders in Colorado - finding shoes for rowing.It is said that it was inspired by a housewife.The housewife wanted a shoe that was soft, comfortable, and lightweight to wear while shopping for groceries, so she designed a shape close to the current Colorado.The housewife's design concept was fully absorbed by the founder of Colorado, creating shoes that are popular all over the United States.

What the world needs most are those who are good at mining inspiration and finding inspiration.The accidental design of a housewife was excavated by the founder of Colorado, which made Colorado brilliant.If the founder did not pay attention to the design of civilians, and insisted on making shoes with his own professional knowledge, perhaps Colorado would not be well-known today.It can be seen that smart people may not be successful, but those who are good at using their talents and knowing how to take advantage of various opportunities are more likely to achieve great things.

Bacon said: "A wise man creates more opportunities than he can find. Just like the cherry tree, although it is quietly waiting for the arrival of spring, it is always recharging its energy." When people are waiting for opportunities Therefore, we should not relax the accumulation of energy and recharge our batteries, but we must always spy on the position and assess the situation in order to seek opportunities that are beneficial to our own development.Opportunities are fleeting, and good luck is not always available. It is not enough to find it, but to know how to use it and create more opportunities for yourself.

As they say, if you know how to cook, you know how to have fun.There are many people who are not lucky enough to wake up to life.They wasted their time and waited until they were lost, only to turn back and hope to turn back time. However, how could time go backwards?
Life is long, luck is momentary, action should be fast, enjoyment should be slow.Opportunities are occasional outbreaks. If you don't act quickly and beat your chest until you miss it, it won't help.
