Walking down the memory lane, as we look back in retrospect, we realize of the golden times gone by. Once an opportunity knocks past an individual, it throws light upon future fruition. More often than not, mankind turgid with pride chooses a state of forlorn for one’s own self. Youth, being a while of life renders promises of new beginning. People commit the careless sin of letting go off countless number of opportunities that come their way. Ignorance is, but bliss. It plunges into hopeless bliss of solitude when one basks in the self deceived glory of one’s fleeting illusionary world of happiness. Suavity is a much desired blessing but all can never afford to wear it up their sleeves. It is an acquired treasure of life. It is a well known face that life is the greatest teacher. One can choose to take the privilege of acquiring suavity but liberty remains a far off cry for the world of struggling men. An opportunity missed once, is missed by the yearning heart of aspiring youth for many more years of their life. It is like throwing invitation to a state of impending socio-economic-emotional futility. Dwelling on high raised hopes of future, one often tends to miss out on what they are blessed with.
Pride maiming the mind
Opportunity serves as bait before the hungry mind. Seizing it for one’s own benefit can be worthy if it is utilized wisely. People become a quarry before a much awaited opportunity. But when the question of treating an opportunity as granted emerges, it bring with it emotional lethal. Taste of success goes hand in hand with taste of the forbidden fruit of knowledge when one basks in one’s own materialistic heights. In no time can one fizz into insignificance if the scope coming one’s way is taken for granted. One thus paves the way for one’s own downfall. Blame game takes a back seat in such a situation. Words continue to be powerless without action as is known from the popular phrase “action speaks louder than voice”. Empty vessels are known to sound much as the hollowness comes to the forefront. Dreams become a moot point when one swaggers like a ship without a rudder. Welcoming an opportunity can be quite a wise decision in life. Idle brain is believed to make space for devil’s workshop. To keep it all at bay, is it pertinent to keep it in mind that no opportunity goes down the drain.
Wisdom lies in acceptance
Every dark cloud is bordered by a silver lining. One needs to have an eye for that appreciation of beauty that lies behind truth. Missing out an opportunity by purpose and choice can cost one much in near future. Pessimism can be labelled as a snag in the way of opportunity. Over analysis costs one dearly once the opportunity goes out of hand. Nurturing duality in mind is never quite welcoming. Determination, spirit of perseverance brings out far reaching results for the wise mind. The task of utilizing the oncoming opportunity lays embedded at the hands of the receiver of the former.
