Don’t Waste Opportunities
This is a beautiful quote explaining what is 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. Some are fearful about failures or wait for another better opportunity. Failures are part of life. If you read the stories of successful persons, you can find they have struggled a lot, but moved forward fearless of failures. Also they never wasted opportunities.
But later they feel sorry about wasting the opportunity. What is the benefit? Nothing, but mental stress only. After that they look for ways to overcome stress.

Don’t Waste Opportunities – Jamie Foxx
When I was growing up in Terrell, Texas, I felt that it was not where I was supposed to be. I knew that I was meant for a different destination. I think that the minute I was born, there was something inside telling me where I would go, it’s like energy – an intangible destiny. Jamie Foxx
