This was something the Hollywood super star, Will Smith was quotes saying. Opportunities can come from anywhere. This is a very important thing to realize, that the chance to do something you really want to do can come when you least expect it to. It basically means that if you're ready and willing to accept whatever life throws at you, you will be able to seize the opportunity that life throws at you. Numerous individuals sit tight for a considerable length of time to 'get their chance of a lifetime' and finally when they do at last get gave a chance to accomplish something unimaginable, they are either not ready, miss the opportunity or don't know how to respond towards it. And that's why it is in our best interest to stay ready at all times, and not only when we are near the opportunity. Suppose you have a dream to become a good French speaker. In order to make that dream a reality, you will join some classes, read books, practice daily, socialize with people of same interest, watch French movies etc. These are the basics. To go above and beyond, you need to be ready for practically anything. Imagine for a job interview, there is a Frenchman, which could provide you with so many more opportunities. Not only the speaking part, but also being able to listen and interpret him accordingly and respond calmly and correctly, with elegance is the main task. But if you don't know what you bring to the table, you don't get a seat at the table. Push yourself everyday to achieve your dreams. Recognize your dreams. Hone then everyday along with whatever you thing could come along. Make yourself such a pioneer of the topic that nothing can distort you.
Join classes. Attend sessions. Read books. Talk to such people and remember to practice every day. The opportunity may not present itself today, tomorrow or even the next month. People actually get life changing chances when they are least expecting to. But if you're not capable of grabbing it, or lack the knowledge or the confidence to take it, you lost it then and there. But if you're ready, then and there you will grab it without losing any time. And to grab that opportunity at the right time is exactly the path to success. There is no lack of opportunities today, but only the ones who grab it at the exact moment, are actually benefited from them. A lost opportunity sets you back. It harms your self esteem and the desire to achieve what you actually wanted. So ensure that consistently, you're sharp, mindful of yourself, and concentrated on what you need throughout everyday life, and how you will arrive. The thing to stress over is missing the chances.
