OPPORTUNITY COMES BUT ONCE

The saying that "opportunity comes but once" has never aligned with my school of thought, because even when you are not looking there are opportunities, in fact, I never liked the statement that opportunity comes but once I just believe it is just a product of you being aligned and being able to see and decipher that opportunity(I'm not being religious here rather I am being factual), I also believe it is one thing to know this is an opportunity and another thing to grab it and run with it even after being able to see that there is an opportunity.

I have always believed it boils down to your character and manners of approach, allow me to explain; let's say I allow you to run my company as a manager on the basis that you're my friend or even a random person I met that came for an interview, and after occupying the position you started going south from our agreement automatically you have lost the opportunity of remaining as a staff in my company. Now this is why I don't like the statement "opportunity comes but once" I sacked this particular manager and a friend of mine is looking for a manager for his own company, unless I hate that friend I won't send my former manager there because I know he's going to ruin or run down the business.

This whole thing goes both ways, a guy or lady walks into my establishment and has the opportunity to work there and has a good record or report and has worked for a long time, when or if another opportunity comes for him to go higher I would not hesitate to nominate him for more slots and "opportunities" because he merited it except I am a bad person.

Growing up, my Dad told us a lot of stories, and one of them was the story of one of his friends who was promoted until there was no space for promotion,n, and he was recommended to a sister company. At the same time, it still does not mean that the opportunity will always be there; it will never always be there. As I said, your attitudes, character, discipline, and positioning will determine if opportunities will come, but once or you can move from one level of opportunity to another. It's all up to you and

I stand to be corrected.
