21 Principles of Opportunity
How to find and take advantage of any Opportunity
By Bill Thomas
How do you usually find your opportunities in life? Do you wait for
them to "knock-on-the-door"? Are there people you know, like psychics,
gurus, and consultants, who show you a couple of choice ones?
It was Thomas Edison who said, "[creative] genius is 1% inspiration
and 99% perspiration!" Most people think that finding and exploiting opportunity is exactly the opposite of what Edison believed. He knew that it involved more work to shape and form opportunity than it took
to actually "find" it.
Highly inventive and creative people see
opportunity all around themselves everyday - the hard part is choosing
which opportunity they want to take advantage of today.
Now that you possess these "PRINCIPLES OF OPPORTUNITY", you will want
to apply them to your daily experiences. You may confidently view them
as your guide and adviser whenever you look at the world or its
situations. If you wish to discover, or reveal the many hidden yet
abundantly supplied opportunities that surround us all then these
items are for you.
Remember that your true advantage relies upon your use, usage,
implementation and exploitation of these 21 Principles. May they bring
you the very best success in your endeavors!
