Opportunity is like a rough stone, which can only be reborn in the hands of sculptors; God has given us an opportunity, and we must have the ability to shape it into a perfect image according to our own design.
There is no shortage of opportunities in this world, just like the original stones all over the mountains and plains. But many people don't want to learn carving skills, just wait for opportunities. This kind of person actually lives by luck, and luck can't even eat a meal.
Opportunities sometimes depend on waiting, but most of them are for you to find. There are stones all over the mountains. You must find a stone suitable for your sculpture to succeed.
Of course, it is not the best policy to wait for opportunities and blindly look for opportunities. "Instead of fishing in the forest, it is better to retreat and build a net." As far as carving stones is concerned, while looking for stones, we must study the skills of carving hard. Because opportunities always love those who are prepared and capable. Pasteur said: "Opportunities only favor those who are prepared. If you don't have flying wings, ten lucky birds will fly in front of you like meteors. " And if you are always ready, even if you fail nine times, as long as there is one chance, you are the winner. "
There is such a lady: her husband has been transferred to work in Xinjiang. She is very depressed because she lives in a beautiful city in the south now. So she told her husband that she didn't want to go with him.
Her mother knew about it and told her that when the sun goes down, the moon and stars will light up, so don't be afraid to change. After repeated persuasion by her mother, she decided to accept the change.
When she arrived in Xinjiang, she was suddenly attracted by the long Gobi, various desert plants and beautiful textiles. She is determined to paint this charming western scenery with her brush. To this end, she took part in a painting class. In the painting class, she showed her painting talent that she never thought of. Soon, the painting class held a painting exhibition, and her works were very popular. After that, many people came to her door and asked her to paint attractive grapes and plump cactus ... she became a watercolor painter that local people liked.
The lady later wrote to her mother and said, "This change has given me a chance to discover my talents, which I may never find in my original place."
Obviously, this lady's success is the result of grasping the opportunity and being able to take advantage of it. Without this opportunity, as she said, she may never find her talent; And with this opportunity, if you don't make use of its practical skills, don't say an opportunity, even if ten opportunities come to her, you will watch them fleeting in front of you.
In the past, when you succeeded in something, people often said to your face that it was because of good opportunities. I don't quite agree with this. I think it determines one's subjective efforts. With the continuous enrichment of experience, I gradually feel that opportunities are really important. Without the opportunity, even if you have the talent to help the world, you will be a "hero's useless place."
It seems that opportunity and diligence are twin brothers. Opportunity is a platform for success; Only through diligence can we get more opportunities and learn the skills to make full use of them.
Success = Diligence+Opportunity
Success, a charming word, attracts everyone with ambition. People are eager for success and pursue success, but what is success? Some people think that "success equals constant struggle", others think that "success equals opportunity", but what I want to say is "success = diligence+opportunity"!
Diligence and opportunity are indispensable factors for success. Only by unremitting struggle, even if you are knowledgeable, you may not succeed. Qu Yuan is brilliant, with both wisdom and courage. However, the traitor was in power, and the king was fatuous. In the end, because he had no chance to serve the country, he could not be put to good use and died. But opportunities are frequent, but I can't catch them and I can't succeed, because "opportunities only favor those who are always ready." Therefore, to succeed, diligence is as important as opportunity.
Diligence is the way to success. Anyone who has a successful career is closely related to his efforts. As the song goes, "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" No one can succeed casually. " In China, there are Su Qin who hangs his head and pricks his legs, Zu Ti who smells chickens and dances, and Song Lian who is hungry and cold but never stops studying. These are all examples of hard struggle in ancient times. In modern times, Lu Xun, who gave up medicine and joined the literature, was shocked. Someone once called him a "genius", but he smiled: "Where there is no genius, I use other people's coffee time to write!" Obviously, isn't his great achievement the crystallization of hard work? So Edison said, "Genius is equal to 99% blood and sweat plus 1% inspiration." Is to emphasize the importance of diligence.
Since diligence is the way to success, opportunity should be the key to success. Without this key, you can only wander outside the door alone. Mao Sui is famous not only for his courage and resourcefulness, but also for Ping Yuanjun. Imagine: What if Mao Sui is as suspicious as Qu Yuan, even if he is as sharp as Mai Mang? However, opportunities must be fought for. "There will be no pie in the sky." If Mao Sui didn't dare to recommend himself and fight for the "opportunity" to go together, it would be impossible to become famous in that case.
In short, if you want to succeed, you need to seize every opportunity persistently. Otherwise, success is just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror for you!
