Ask for it

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 11 Feb '09

“You create your opportunities by asking for them.”

--Patty Hansen

My Thoughts:
I have said a lot of time in my previous quotes that opportunities are there for you, all you have to do is – find them and grab them.

You can’t sit back and say that opportunities are not coming. You have to catch them; ask for them. And you can’t be still if you want something.

Built it

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 16 Jan '09

“If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.”

-- Milton Berle

My Thoughts:
You always have thought that some day or the other I would get the opportunity - I would be promoted to designation or one day I would tell her how much I loved her.

But then you never get that opportunity. So what do you do? Wait & watch? Certainly not; you have to do your part so that one day opportunity knocks your door.

Tomorrow’s Sun may not rise

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 22 Dec '08

“Defer not till tomorrow to be wise, tomorrow's sun to thee may never rise.”

--William Congreve

My Thoughts:
In India, we follow this famous saying “Kal Kare So Aaj Kar,. Aaj kare so ab. Pal mein parlay ho jayega, Bahuri karega kab” (translated to English) “If it is to be done tomorrow, do it today. If it is to be done today, do it now. In a second disaster would struck, then when would you do what you want to do?”

Now is the chance to do things, or I must say – be wise and do things, because nobody knows will you ever get a second chance.

Catch his Beard

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 23 Sept '08

“Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind.”

--Bulgarian Proverb

My Thoughts:
It had happened to me quiet a few times when I had the opportunity but I didn’t act. Then all I had to do was…regret…!

This proverb says that you should move ahead and catch hold of the opportunity. If you don’t do that, then you may not be able to catch hold and it would slip out of your hand as it is bald from behind…!
