Both my mom and Eminem have told me that opportunity comes just once in a lifetime, yo. As much as I think those two people are usually spot on, I have to say that Im a little leery with this one. Can it really be true that there are some other-wordly forces at play, ensuring that an opportunity really is offered just once? Why would they do that? The answer is they wouldnt. Either because they care so little whether someone has more than one opportunity or maybe just because they dont exist. Either way, my stance is that if you miss an opportunity, just relax and another should be along soon. And if you want to get proactive about it, well thats even better. This isnt to say that you should encourage your lethargy to take on a greater role than it already has. No, thats not the case at all.
Although, there is most certainly an endless supply of opportunity, you should always go ahead and take advantage if you can. Thats why, contrary to what Mrs. Reagan would recommend, I say, never say no! While this personal policy has certainly landed me in a couple of pickles that I would prefer I wouldnt have been in, the final tally looks pretty good.
