Opportunity

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
- Thomas Alva Edison

“It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.”

 “If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd.”
