If Opportunity Doesn't Knock, Make A Door

Opportunity does not waste time with those who are unprepared. Whatever you do, do it with purpose. Being focused is not something to be ashamed of. It is something to be proud of. Opportunities will seek you. Happiness will chase you. Find opportunities in any circumstance.

Never become a victim. They just get tired out by knocking and then they leave. Opportunity is always coming but never knocks on the door. You have to get up and meet it. Opportunity knocks only once. You 'll never know if you'll get another opportunity. Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, it's too late.

However, it is not true. Opportunity never knocks. It is actually within you. An unaspiring person always complains. There is no end to his complaints.

Some people are entrepreneurs who create and build businesses. Some people are infopreneurs who produce and traffic news and information. People like me seek purpose and want to create change. Sometimes opportunity may knock twice if you are lucky. It is really stressful to say no to any opportunity, whether it is as overtly concrete as a job offer to something more amorphous.

It's never too late to think about and explore options that may make you really happy and excited to come into work every day. electing opportunities doesn't have to be as rigorous a process as science itself, but it should involve proper planning, self-assessment, and awareness of available and needed resources, like money or time. Opportunities on your own campus can also deliver great ROI.

Often people don't take advantage of or understand that there's a wealth of information at your university, and people really do want to see you succeed. Don't let school get in the way of your education. You are responsible for gaining those skills.

Be bold. If you want something, say it and go after it. If you don't communicate your goals and your desired skill set, your advisor will never know and you both will suffer from this lack of communication, Demonstrate that it's win-win.

One opportunity that affords you the chance to build your "brand," or promise of value, in this regard is to volunteer to be a technical reviewer for conference papers or a journal. "If you do this type of professional activity, you can very quickly become recognized as an expert. But be strategic about your networking endeavors in particular. Prioritize your networking actions by looking for (1) leaders who are most directly related to your area of expertise, (2) institutions that have the best fit for the careers you want to pursue, or (3) support groups that will give you the help you need to succeed.

You're going to be down at some point and you're going to be ecstatic at some point, and that's the human nature. No one's going to pat you on the back. No one's going to tell you you're doing a good job. You have to figure it out yourself.

People oftentimes acknowledged their ability to leverage opportunities that are presented to them. They create opportunities out of ordinary events. Meaning, they not only open the door when someone is knocking, they do the knocking themselves.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
