The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. That's impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

我們如此自由的呼吸空氣，以至于我們覺得想當然。然而，如果沒有它，我們連幾分鐘的時間都無法生存。在大多數情況下，同樣的空氣是提供給大家，每個人都需要它。有人用空氣來維持他們，卻無所事事，只在那暗自神傷。有的人呼吸空氣并利用它提供的能量使自己的生活絢麗多彩。

機會是同樣的道理。它無處不在。機會是如此的容易得到，我們也覺得是想當然。然而只有機會是足不能夠成功的。必須抓住機遇，采取行動，以具有價值。因此，因此很多人急切的等待著得到一個從天而降的機會，好像這個機會是萬能的。（但是）這是不可能的。

正如你需要呼吸空氣一樣，你需要機會才能成功。但是這機會不像呼吸空間那么簡單，但是。你必須利用這個機會。這是達不到的機會。這是給你的?！白蕴於怠钡臋C會有什么用不要緊。重要的是你用它做什么。
