People are judged by what they think and what they say.
But the true measure of their character is what they do.
Anyone who has achieved success and fortune in the world
has done it by action. William Jennings Bryan wrote,
“Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of
choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing
to be achieved”.
The choice of path to follow is often put before you as
opportunity. “Few people recognize opportunity,” said Cary
Grant, “because it comes disguised as hard work.” Don’t
let opportunities slip past while you’re still considering
them, and create new ones as you see them. “Wise people
make more opportunities than they find,” said Francis
Bacon.
