Special greetings to you all, I believe everybody is doing great, my name is oluwatimileyin and I want to use this opportunity to participate in the current contest ongoing in the community.
The community moderator @lhorgic has came up with an amazing contest for us, the contest is title Opportunity Comes but Once, well , what is everyone of us if we aren't an opportunist, we all have been lucky in one way or the other.here are my few thoughts.
Opportunity is what most people see as luck, it is a means of getting the right information at the right time.
That is just the simple definition of what the word "opportunity" means, it means the ability of you to be able to get a chance of something, and to the extent that the particular thing is what you needed at the exact time.
In summary, Opportunity simply means the chance you get, of being in the right place at the right time, and this is done with the chance of you making the impossible to be possible.
The statement "Opportunity Comes but Once" is somehow misleading at a point, as there are situations whereby what you consider as an opportunity are not really an opportunity, but your fear of loosing it as you thought it's only going to come once makes you want to stay cling to it, even thou at the end of the line you realize it's not what you have been aiming for.
I do not agree with the statement, it is my beliefs that what Is mine shall surely locate me in as long as God has destined it to me, so there is nothing like Opportunity Comes but Once , if it is yours , it will surely come to you on another chance.
I have said it earlier that I found the statement misleading, for the reason that I belief opportunities are more of lucks that comes to us in occurrences, so if the job is destined to be mine, irrespective of the chance i might have missed , it will surely locate me once more.
We are destined to something one way or the other, and destiny can only be delayed not denied, so which means opportunity doesn't comes at once, so far as you are still breathing, you still have the chance of getting the opportunity once and many more times to come.
Personally, I see steemit as an opportunity to me, at the moment I was introduced, when my friend told me about the platform I couldn't take it serious as I have had many circumstances with platforms where you see people investing there time, but at the end of the line, it all results into nothing, and probably a waste of effort.
At the time he introduced me, even though I wasn't much intrigued, at least I had shown interest, that interest I had shown then, is what has occurred to me as an opportunity at this moment, even though at the moment I sign up, it's not something I considered an opportunity as much.
So here is my chance to do something with my writing skills, I have been battling on some typing skills as well, but with the platform opportunity, I was able to come ahead of all that, and I could boast that if I had not taken that chance then, things might not have work out as fine as they are now.
So that was really an opportunity which I was glad I could take the chance, though this doesn't mean it's a one time something, if I hadn't join then, I could have join later, it's just that the circumstances might have been different and the rules might not be in favor of me any longer as before, so in this case, the opportunity could not be denied, whether I like it or not , I would still have find my way to the platform sooner or later.
In my personal experience, I would like to redefine the statement "Opportunity Comes but Once" to "opportunity can only be delayed not denied", as there is still a probability of you getting the chance of a situation you might have missed.
If it is yours, it will surely locate you, it might even be in a better circumstances than before.
Conclusion
That is my intake on the topic "Opportunity Comes but Once", which I hope many do agree with my few points, better days are always ahead, if you could got the chance once, there is still a possibility that you could still get another good chance at it, many prioritize opportunity as a goal getter situation.
Thank you for reading my articles, I would like to invite @icon-monday to join the contest.
