My View on Opportunity

    My View on Opportunity

  There is no consensus of opinion among people as to how to view opportunity. Some people suggest that opportunities are so rare that only the luckiest persons can obtain them, while some other people argue that in a sense everyone has some kind of opportunity from time to time.

  As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion to some extent. As a western saying goes, “Every dog has its day,” which means everybody has opportunities to be successful in his or her life. In fact, no one can be denied access to opportunity. Those who claim that they have been out of luck, just can't recognize or make good use of opportunities. So, we must try our best to search for and create more opportunities.

  Let’s take Newton, the world-famous scientist, as an example. Before him too many people had seen an apple falling from a tree, but only Newton discovered the law of gravity. The reason is that he had developed a good habit of thinking over answers to problems and stuck to his studies in spite of difficulties. This story tells us that a wise man is always creating his opportunity rather than waiting for it.

  In conclusion, I believe that opportunities are abundant in our society and everyone is equal for them. We can acquire them only if we are well prepared and qualified. As a proverb says, “Opportunities are well only for the prepared mind.”
