What are opportunities?

Opportunities. Just what the fuck are they? Opportunities, are supposed to be good things aren't they? Or at least, that's what I've come to think of it as, after all these years of education, and what not.

So what exactly are opportunities? I'm inclined to think that opportunities present themselves as irritants to people, and major ones at that too. Why do I say that?

Just think about it. How often do you find that opportunities are presented to you in such a way that you can only choose between one or the other, which are usually EQUALLY important to you?? In fact, I can hardly remember a time when it wasn't.

How often do you hear people telling you that opportunities don't knock twice, so its either you grab it now when you can, or lose it forever?

You want to ty, you want to grab the opportunity, BUT you can't for some reason or another at that moment or time, and then, it vanishes just like that. Not to mention that it doesn't come again.

The other irritating thing about opportunities is how they always manage to come at a time when you least expect it, and catches you at a really really bad timing, again, take it or leave it.

Irritates me so. Really. It's like offering somebody a no limit credit card for them to spend (to their heart's content) in a place where they only accept cash.

"Take it or leave it, one time offer only!! No limit credit card, for you to spend to your heart's content, only valid for items sold at the pasar malam (night market)."

Crap rite? -_-

Ok, maybe my illustration is a little extreme, but you get my point.

Which leaves me to wonder, people who are able to make full use of opportunities that are presented to them, just what kind of people are they??

Super gang-ho? Super no life (no life = no or little commitments so easy to take risks)? Or super rich such that they afford and have the luxury to trial and error many many times?

I dunno, for me, I see it as pretty useless, and fucking irritating. Maybe, Its there just to test my patience.

Damn, I hate thoughts like these. Tired sia, shall go sleep.
