Opportunities

Many people wait for the right opportunity to do many things like a vacancy post for an employee to get a promotion, a right moment for a confession and maybe even the right economical condition for business or investing. However, many people often miss their first given opportunities and end up waiting a long time for the next. In result, they waste a lot of time just waiting for the opportunity to come.

Ever since young, I’ve always wanted the opportunity to get positions in clubs and societies. I always wanted the opportunity to prove myself capable. Let us take for example when I was in scouts during secondary school. I worked as hard as I can throughout form 1 and form 2. However, no matter how much I do the opportunity doesn’t come. The reason being I didn’t stand out. Every position that I wanted to get I didn’t get the opportunity to. When I was form 4, I finally stood out but in the past people don’t even remember that I was working hard there. Everyone omitted my years of commitment.

All that can actually be changed by the actions I take. If I actually stand up and really go all the way for those things that I want, the opportunities can be created. Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. Create the opportunities yourself.

Opportunities, when they come, grasp it, when they don't, make it
