Recognize Opportunities

Opportunities come and go but only the man whose mind is trained to recognize them benefits from them. There is a difference between a man who just looks and the one that sees. People can become so short-sighted - focusing on immediate problems and overlooking possibilities all around. On the other hand, people can become long-sighted - not making plans for tomorrow.

Of what value is a dollar note to a rat beyond just a piece of paper? Same goes for any enviable opportunity you allow pass you by. Napoleon Hill says nine-tenth of seeing is in the brain. This seems to suggest that seeing opportunities is as much a mental habit as it is an atitude to life. Choose to see!
