Opportunities Quotes

“Back in my day, when a white man gave you an opportunity, it came at a cost. You could be his chauffeur, but had to always be available to drive him around no matter if you had plans with your family or not. You could vote, but someone would break your legs if you didn' vote for the candidate they wanted you to. But either way, an opportunity was an opportunity, and if you took it, and learned how to play their game, you could be successful.”

“Vivekananda's impressions had overwhelmed him, and he reacted by scolding his Madras disciples to emphasize the distance they still had to travel in comparison. He told them to hide their 'faces in shame' and called them a 'race of dotards, who spent hundred of years ... discussing the touchableness of this food or ... promenading the sea-shores with books in [their] hands - repeated undigested stray bits of European brainwork, and the whole soul bent upon getting a thirty-rupee clerkship ...' He implored them to come out of their 'narrow holes and have a look abroad ... to see how nations are on the march,' and called for sacrifice, especially for the poor and downtrodden, and acknowledged that the English 'had been the instrument' of breaking a 'crystallised civilisation' to force India, and especially her young men, to change. Both Hirai and Vivekananda regarded imperial assaults not as victimization alone, but also as opportunities for re-creation.”

“It is the dream of parents and grandparents that their children and grandchildren have a better lot in life: better experiences and more opportunities. That was my dream for my children, and now it’s my dream for my grandchildren. I have seen that having the gospel in your life as a youth and living it opens doors of opportunities that allow more to be accomplished. The gospel provides more protection against the generational curses that seem to plague people.”

“He kept giving me new opportunities to be made right with Him. I could choose to go to my grave denying, rejecting, and refuting Him, but He would be there intervening and interjecting Himself every step of the way. He would not let me recklessly shove my way into hell unwarned.”

“~Misinterpreting intentions can lead to missed opportunities for meaningful connections. Avoid primitive thinking. Seeing every gesture as a hidden agenda is a disservice to both ourselves and others. Let's evolve beyond primitive thinking and embrace a more inclusive mindset. It really pains me when I go an extra mile trying to secure opportunities & connections that might favor you and actually benefit you, for your own good. However, some of you still possess outdated beliefs, wrongly associating any friendly message with ulterior sexual motives. It's time to shed these misconceptions and elevate your level of intellectual maturity.”

“If you constantly focus on doing things, you will certainly miss better way of doing things and better opportunities that might show up. This happens because when you are caught up in action you miss looking at the bigger picture.”

“There are certain encounters that one knows will never be repeated so long as one lives. The firstborn child can't be born twice; one's virginity, once lost, can never be found again; the sheer awe one feels when laying hand on a giant sequoia cannot be rivaled. Other times escape our notice, slipping by while we are preoccupied, and we do not appreciate their enormity until it's too late to do anything but regret that we had not paid more attention in the present. For me, the times I always regret are missed opportunities to say farewell to good people, to wish them long life and say to them in all sincerity, "You build and do not destroy; you sow goodwill and read it; smiles bloom in the wake of your passing, and I will keep your kindness in trust and share it as occasion arises, so that your life will be a quenching draught of clam in a land of drought and stress." Too often I never get to say that when it should be said. Instead, I leave them with the equivalent of a "Later, dude!" only to discover some time afterward that there would never be a later for us.”

“Nuo tų laikų man liko nuostata, kad vienas svarbiausių dalykų gyvenime yra kūrybiškai griuvinėti, įsmukti į kokią nors skylę, nežinant, ką darai, ir aptikti joje galimybių atrasti save - kūrybiškų galimybių, apie kurias nieko nežinojai, darydamas tą ar kitą sprendimą" - „Nuo dailės socio­logijos iki moralinių kultūrų“, Prosky­na, 1992, nr. 5(23), p. 295.”

“The absolute worst thing you can do when frustrated by decreasing opportunities is to whine about it. Stop complaining. In these challenging times, feeling hopeless and helpless can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is a time to become a warrior, not a worrier.”
