Opportunity often comes in disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Opportunity never sneaks up on those who straddle the fence of indecision.
If it isn't your job to do it, perhaps it is your opportunity
If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way. Don't wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones and make them great.
Behind every adversity - is an opportunity!
When Opportunity came, the person didn't realize it because it came in the form of misfortune.
Successful people are decisive people. When opportunities come their way, they evaluate them carefully, make a decision, and take appropriate action. They know that indecision wastes time that could be spent on more productive tasks.
It is a curious quirk of human nature that some people can see opportunities, while others only see problems.
Every problem comes with an equal or greater opportunity
Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.
Never, in the history of the world, has there been such abundant opportunity as there is now for the person who is willing to serve before trying to collect.
Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.
Opportunity ... It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.
Don't ever admit that the world has not given you an opportunity
