It is often said that when a door is shut, God opens a window of opportunity - the silver lining of every cloud. Thus, though the letter O is very similar to the numeral zero, perhaps opportunity was coined to indicate that we can convert zero into any great figure.
Michelle Obama used the figure of speech to drive home the point while saying
" When you walk through the open door of opportunity,
you don't slam it shut behind you,
YOU HOLD IT OPEN."
Sally Koch pointed out the everyday reality while stating
" Great opportunities to help others seldom come.
But small ones surround us everyday."
The Bible gives the best direction to seek an opportunity out in the words
" Ask and it will be given to you,
seek and you will find.
Knock and the door will be opened for you"
The legendary Henry Ford had a different take on opportunity and revealed in these words
" Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently"
Albert Einstein laid the opportunity bare by saying
" In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity"
Richard Branson counselled on retaining an opportunity in these words
" If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity
but
you are not sure you can do it,
say yes -
then learn how to do it later"
Winston Churchill epitomized the significance of opportunities in these words
" A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;
an optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty."
Indira Gandhi captured the essence of the opportunities in these words
" Opportunities are not offered.
They must be wrested and worked for"
Thus, Opportunity presents itself as a life lesson from these quotes in the series of A to Z.
