I saw the review for this post on the Brad Shorr’s Word Sell Inc. blog.

Interesting topic. I am reminded of a short story which I heard many years ago.

Two old men were sitting inside a house. One said to the other, “When opportunity knocks, you’ve gotta open the door.”

His friend laughed, “Yeah, opportunity knocked on your door once, but by the time you took of the padlock, undid the latch, unhooked the chain and opened the door, it was gone.”

It’s easier said than done, but we must always be open and ready to move and take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

Cheers

Andrew

It is a bit of a downer for sure, and many folks just give in and accept it.

Not me, not any longer. If I’m going to give 1/3 of my time to something, I’d better love it, money or not.

I’ve tried to fight it, and, not being able to fight it here, have decided to move on to something else.

I’ve read in many places, you can’t change other people, only yourself.

So I will. Can and will!
