Therefore, I changed the habit of complaining and told myself that opportunities are always for those who are prepared. Since then, I have joined the queue of efforts. I have made full preparations, just waiting for the opportunity to come. I will hold on to it.
Join us! Don't say you've worked hard enough! You are far from enough. Hard-working people never complain that opportunities slip away.
Wait for the next chance, make full preparations, hold him tightly, and don't have any regrets.
Train of thought hint
Opportunity never favors those who are prepared; Without a good self-reserve, even if the opportunity comes, you can't catch it.
Opportunities not only need to wait, but also need our efforts to create.
Seize the opportunity and don't let it slip away.
Only with a sense of responsibility and urgency can we seize the opportunity.

Classic material
Opportunity belongs to the will (Bobby Chen seized the opportunity and rose up against it).
At the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng was born in a poor peasant family, but he had little ambition. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died of illness. Eunuch Zhao Gao forged the testament of Qin Shihuang and made Qin Shihuang's youngest son Hu Hai a puppet emperor. Zhao Gao usurped power and oppressed and exploited the people even more cruelly. The Qin Dynasty recruited poor peasants to perform military service in the border areas on a large scale, built palaces, carried out land and water transportation and engaged in all kinds of hard labor, which caused great disasters to the people. In July 209 BC, 900 poor farmers, including Chen Sheng and Guangwu, were sent to defend Yuyang. Because of the heavy rain on the road, the road was washed away and they couldn't arrive on time. According to the law of the Qin Dynasty, they were killed by mistake. Chen Sheng saw his own situation and the national people's hatred of the Qin Dynasty, and decided to seize this opportunity to mobilize the border guards to kill the Qin Jun officers who escorted them. Exposing the pole as a flag and using sticks and hoes as weapons, they led this 900-person peasant armed against Qin. Immediately after the uprising, it won the support of the broad masses of the people. Farmers brought their own dry food and joined the rebels one after another. The insurgents expanded rapidly, attacking the city and plundering the land. Finally overthrew the rule of the Qin dynasty.
Opportunities are hard to find (jules verne first set foot in the literary world)
Known as the "father of science fiction", jules verne, a famous French science fiction writer, entered the literary world by chance. Verne studied law in Paris at the age of 18. Once, he attended a gathering of high-class people. When he came down from upstairs, he still looked like a child. He slipped down the handrail of the stairs like a child and ran into a fat gentleman. This man is the famous French writer Dumas. From then on, Verne got to know Dumas and embarked on the road of literary creation under the influence of Dumas.
Opportunity favors a prepared mind (dream, providing answers for science)
German chemist Kekule is a diligent person. One day, after intense work, he felt very tired and fell asleep in a carriage. He has been absorbed in studying the structure of benzene molecules these days, and his brain is extremely tired. After sleeping, many nerves in his brain will get excited involuntarily after a short rest. It seems to him that all carbon molecules are alive, dancing in front of his eyes and forming a long chain. The long chain twisted like a snake, suddenly biting its tail and turning into a circle. At this time, Kekule woke up from a dream and suddenly realized, "I found the answer. Benzene molecules are cyclic structures. " If Kekule had been a lazy man, this discovery would not have been possible.
Opportunity plus talent equals success.
Chaplin, a world-famous comedian, made his debut at the age of five, which showed his outstanding artistic talent. On that occasion, his mother suddenly lost her voice during the performance and she had to leave the stage. At this time, the venue was in chaos, and the stage director had a brainwave. Thinking that Chaplin had performed in front of his mother and friends, he suggested that Chaplin perform on stage instead of his mother. Little Chaplin has no stage fright. Facing the full audience, he sang a song leisurely. Then he sang and danced and performed several programs, especially when he sang the Irish March in a hoarse voice. The simulation was vivid and won warm applause. It is precisely because he grasped this accidental opportunity that he can embark on the road of art and eventually become a world-renowned comedy master.
Not only by chance, but also by talent (Liu Chan can't follow Shu Han)
During the Three Kingdoms period, Adou succeeded to the throne as emperor after Shu, and stood with Wei and Wu Ding. His inheritance was brilliant and there was no "opportunity"; Zhuge Liang, who had answers, gave him advice and tried his best to die, not to mention that there was no "opportunity". But in the end, he was captured by Wei and ridiculed by later generations as "A Dou who can't afford to help". Why can't a person who has many "opportunities" achieve anything, while his home country is in jeopardy? History answers us: A Dou is born with a "temperament" and only learns lightly. Of course, no "opportunity" can make him a talent. It is inevitable that he will be eliminated by history. Obviously, without his usual efforts, it is absurd to talk about "opportunities"!
Seize the opportunity when it comes (Meng Haoran misses the opportunity)
Meng Haoran didn't go to Beijing until he was in his forties. He once wrote poems in imperial academy, and all the guests were deeply impressed, which was unparalleled. On one occasion, Wang Wei, a great poet, invited him to the interior office, and suddenly the report came up. This is a good opportunity to show his talents, but Meng Haoran hides under the bed in panic. Xuanzong was overjoyed when Wang Wei told the truth. "I have heard of this man, but I have never seen him. Why is he hiding in fear? " Ordered Meng Haoran to see him. This was supposed to be a great opportunity for him to get promoted and get rich, but he didn't grasp it well. When the emperor asked about his poems, he complained about others' poems. When he heard the sentence "I was exiled by a wise ruler because of my mistakes", Tang Xuanzong said unhappily, "You don't want to be an official yourself. Why did I abandon you? " So Meng Haoran was released and never used again.
Opportunity can change people's destiny (the turning point of Maxwell's life)
Maxwell went to Edinburgh University to study mathematics and physics at the age of 16, and then went to Cambridge University in London for further study. He studied very hard, read widely and swam in the sea of knowledge to his heart's content. However, due to the lack of guidance from famous teachers, his study lacks systematicness and planning. At this time, the god of luck came to him. One day, Professor Hopkins, a famous mathematician, borrowed an abstruse mathematical monograph from the library, only to be told that the book was borrowed by a student named Maxwell. The professor was both surprised and curious, because this book is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. He found Maxwell, saw that he was reading carefully, and also found his weakness, so he gave him enthusiastic advice and accepted him as a graduate student. At the same time, he also introduced another famous mathematician Stokes as Maxwell's mentor. Under the guidance of two tutors, Maxwell studied hard and made great progress in his studies, eventually becoming a famous physicist.
The Story of Bill Gates
(Seize the chance of success)
From 65438 to 0955, Bill Gates was born in Seattle, a beautiful city in the western United States. At the age of 1 1, Gates entered the most famous private middle school in Seattle. At this time, it is the time when computers rise quietly. Hubin Middle School spent a lot of money to buy a computer for students to understand and learn. The studious Gates soon fell in love with computers.
1973, Gates was admitted to Harvard. Harvard is a world-famous university, where outstanding students from all over the United States and around the world gather.
From 65438 to 0974, the news that the first personal computer came out inspired all the passions of Gates. He decided to drop out of Harvard and join the computer wave. Because this is a once-in-a-century opportunity.
1975, Gates and his good friend Paul finally set up their own company. They named their company Microsoft. At this time, although Microsoft has not yet formed a big climate, Gates and his friends have become famous in the computer industry.
198 1 year, IBM, the largest computer company at that time, officially exhibited its new personal computer, which caused a sensation. What is more striking is that it is Microsoft under the leadership of young Gates who provides language programs for IBM. Through unremitting efforts, Microsoft won the final victory. Half a year after the advent of IBM personal computer, Microsoft officially became the leader of personal computer software. Gates, who is only 26 years old, also became famous.
Today, Gates has reached the peak of the computer software world and become the idol of a new generation of American youth.
The opportunity is just around the corner.
(Good at spotting opportunities)
When young Rockefeller first joined the oil company, he was assigned to check whether the oil tank was welded automatically because of his low education and poor technology. This is the simplest job for oil companies, even children can do it.
Rockefeller stared at the automatic dripping flux every day, walked around the tank cover, looked at the automatic conveyor belt and then unloaded the tank. This job is simple and boring. A few days later, Rockefeller was a little tired. But because he couldn't find a better job, Rockefeller decided to settle down and do his immediate work well.
Therefore, he observed and checked the welding quality of the oil tank more carefully. At that time, the company was carrying out a saving plan, and Rockefeller thought, can I also save some procedures in this job?
He found that every time an oil tank is welded, the flux will drop by 39 drops; And after careful calculation, as long as 37 drops can be welded. However, this method is not practical.
Rockefeller didn't lose heart, but studied deeper. After many experiments, he finally developed the "38 drops" welding machine. In other words, using this welder can save one drop of flux every time. Although only one drop of flux was saved, the "38 drops" welding machine saved the company $5 million every year.
Thirty-nine drops of solder fell in the eyes of everyone in the company, but only Rockefeller's heart. It was such a drop of flux that changed Rockefeller's life.
In fact, the world never lacks opportunities. What is really lacking is a keen eye to find opportunities and a wise mind to seize them.
Xiang Yu missed the opportunity.
(Opportunity is fleeting)
At the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu invaded Xianyang successively. At that time, Xiang Yu led 400,000 troops stationed in Xinfeng Hong Men outside Xianyang, and Liu Bangled 654.38+ 10,000 troops stationed in Bashang. The two armies are very close. At this time, Xiang Yu was in full swing, and it was a piece of cake to destroy Liu Bang's forces. Counselor Fan Zeng proposed that Xiang Yu hold a banquet in Hongmen to entertain Liu Bang, during which he took the opportunity to kill Liu Bang to avoid future trouble. However, at the "Hongmen Banquet", Xiang Yu was indecisive and gave up the opportunity to kill Liu Bang many times. Then, he listened to Xiang Bo's "theory of benevolence and righteousness", released his opponent who was at an absolute disadvantage at that time, and named Liu Bang "Hanwang". Later, Xiang Yu led troops from Xianyang to Pengcheng, intending to show off in his hometown, thus delaying the fighter plane. Liu bang's power is increasing day by day. In the end, the embattled voice forced the overlord of a generation of Xi land to bid farewell to his beloved Yu Ji with tears and ended in a sad ending.
Careful analysis shows that there are many other subjective and objective factors in the tragedy of Xiang Yu's defeat, but it is not unrelated to his missing the opportunity in Hongmen. When Xiang Yu released Liu Bang at Hongmen, Fan Zeng once said angrily, "It is not enough to plan with this boy!" "1April, 949, on the eve of commanding the People's Liberation Army to cross the river to pursue the Kuomintang army, Mao Zedong once summed up the lesson of Xiang Yu's failure in one of his poems:" It is advisable to pursue the poor bandits with the only remaining brave, and not learn from the overlord. "
Yilin story
God's apple
After John died, he went to see God. God read his resume and was very unhappy. "You have lived on the earth for 60 years, why haven't you achieved anything?"
John argued, "Lord, it's not all my fault, but you didn't give me a chance." If you let that magical apple hit me on the head, it will be me who discovers the law of gravity. "
God thought for a moment and said, "well, we might as well try."
With a wave of his hand, God returned to the apple orchard 30 years ago. God shook the fruit tree, and a red apple fell and hit John right on the head. John picked up the apple, wiped it with his skirt and ate it in a few bites.
God let a bigger red apple hit John on the head, and John ate it again.
God sighed, "poor man!" " "He is determined to give John another chance. God shook the apple tree for the third time, and a big apple landed on John's head exactly. John flew into a rage, picked up the apple and threw it out: "damn apple, it stirred my good dream." "
The apple flew out and landed right on Newton's sleeping head. Newton woke up, picked up the apple and was suddenly enlightened. He discovered the law of gravity.
Time has returned to the present, and God said, "Are you convinced now?" John pleaded, "Lord, please give me another chance!" " "God shook his head." No need. Everyone has the same chance of being hit by an apple, but everyone's ability to grasp the opportunity is different. "
Opportunity is not equal to success.
Opportunity in hand does not mean that you will succeed, it is just a shortcut on the road of life. Just like you go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, there is a shortcut that can save you time and effort; However, don't forget that shortcuts are often by the edge of a cliff, and below it is an abyss. Shortcuts are quick, but there are risks, so we should try our best to finish them. In other words, grasping opportunities requires constant efforts and cannot be proud. Only in this way, you won't fall into the abyss halfway, and you won't waste opportunities.
After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan acceded to the throne and became emperor. He was the last ruler of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Shu, Wei and Wu had a solid position and a prominent foundation. Zhuge Liang, the resourceful "Mr. Wolong", made suggestions for him and devoted himself to his death; Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals who can recruit good fighters will open up territory for him. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. However, it was finally captured by Wei and ridiculed by later generations as "A Dou who can't afford to help". A once-in-a-century person can't achieve his career, but his home country is in jeopardy. Why?
Liu Chan was born with a gift, so he knew nothing about learning. For such a person, he craves pleasure and fails to seize the rare opportunity. How can this be successful enough?
If you don't focus on your own training, but place your hopes on opportunities, don't say that opportunities don't come at any time. Even if there is, we can only watch them slip away. What's more, the shortcut brought by this opportunity will also become a steep mountain road full of risks, which will be smashed if you are not careful.
Opportunities are born of challenges.
Two frogs, the old frog and its son, the little frog, accidentally fell into a bucket of milk. In order to survive, they kept swimming and swimming for a long time, but there was no hope.
The old frog swam more and more slowly, so he said to his son, "I'm tired and can't swim." I am drowning. "
The little frog kept encouraging the old frog: "No, keep swimming. Continue to swim, there will be miracles, and you must have confidence. "
However, half an hour later, Father Frog stopped and sank to the bottom of the milk bucket. The frog son kept swimming, and the stirred milk slowly formed a butter ball. Soon, the butter ball under his feet hardened. He took this "ball" as a platform and jumped out of the milk bucket.
In all the dangers, don't forget that there are opportunities. The savior is in this opportunity, and the opportunity is created by people. The word "crisis" should have been interpreted as danger and opportunity. Just like a challenge, it looks like a crisis and its future is uncertain, but don't forget that "no way back is suspicious, and there is another village." Of course, this also requires us to be fearless of challenges and make unremitting efforts in order to find the road to success in the desperate situation. Some of these roads are still shortcuts and opportunities for our success. However, before we find it, maybe we will work harder, like a little frog falling into milk, and keep swimming and swimming to get out of danger until the opportunity hidden in the challenge reveals its true colors. So, don't complain that there are no opportunities in life, only constant challenges. Don't you know that those opportunities are sometimes conceived in challenges?
