The story that has to become true
An opportunity is the one thing that we cannot assign or specify. We can search for it, not steal it. Many people keep saying things like ‘I don’t stand a chance’, ‘this is not a good opportunity’, ‘It’s hard to find opportunities’ and ‘if I find one, is it really mine?’

Sometimes an opportunity does not appear at the right time. We have to be confident and make decisions founded in our own spirit. However, opportunities are not necessarily good.
