Opportunities
“Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.” William Arthur Ward
Dictionary meaning of Opportunity – A time or set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.
We all have great expectations in life.
Most times, it is easy to meet expectations, knowing what you will get.
Sometimes, you achieve much more than your expectations.
Some people ignore or miss the opportunities thinking they won’t get a good result or they will wait for another better opportunity.
