Opportunity

The entire success is up for grabs

There is opportunity for everyone to make it to the top

It’s tough to realize the precious opportunity

Not all realizes at the right time and catch it

Whoever sees the path ahead and believes in it moves ahead

All it takes is a mind with amazing dreams and aims

One with willingness to give everything to get it done

Will embrace the joy of achieving success

Some says hard work brings the opportunities

‘But some times luck brings it

In the form of some god fathers

Or in the form of lotteries or bets

Grab that chance and strike the gold

May be another chance might not come your way

Some times opportunities galore one after another

Leaving one confused for choosing the best

It takes acumen to choose the right one

If tries luck on multiple opportunities

It may doom one into troubles

By not being able to concentrate on any of it

May be greediness

Or may be the fear of not getting another opportunity

Or belief that letting away one won’t be the right one

Indecisiveness and diffidence making one holding to all

Either will end up exhausted attending everything

Or will give up some, easing the pressure to perform better

If one rest in royal of the opportunities availed

And not putting the effort required

All of them might vanish one after another

Without a trace of a possibility to get, back any

For getting successful its vital

To hold on to the given chances and to perform well

Not just that, also to sustain the tempo

If its possible opportunities of another level will come

To take one to the heights after heights

But some times hard work won’t give opportunities

Patience and persistence matters it most then

One who has a big heart to see off those hard times smiling

And hoping for brighter times while giving the best efforts

For unrewarding tasks, may be just for accolades

Soon there will be an opportunity to steer the hardships

Into the luxury of a beautiful life

Biggest looser is who never values his opportunities

Fortunate to get so much deservingly or undeservingly

Yet not utilizing it to the potential

Arrogance and jadedness will ruin the image of one

No matter how much the effort put, those will counteract

When the tide goes the other way

Remaining lazy and acting lax in carrying out the work

May get away some times out off luck

Not always will spared by the sheer luck

When it reaches the boiling point of bursting up

Will loose the precious opportunity to the good

It doesn’t matter how one was or what one was once

How much effort was given, what accolades were there

Or how talented or how influential was

Will fall down to the depth of failures

A harsh reality of life, harder one to cope up with

It may even take so much time to come in terms with it

By then regrets won’t matter at all

Even double big efforts won’t become handy to claw back

As there are hundreds awaiting in the field to take the opportunity

One’s loss is a gateway of others success

Once he becomes ordinary without support

The competition becomes so tough to be in it

Even with abundance in talent and experience

Might end up failing again and again

Struggling to touch the purple patch again

Even the tears and prayers might not save the agony and frustration

Sailing the moments awaiting an opportunity might be like living ages

Reminding the very fact that opportunities are not birthright of any

No one can demand command over it always

One remains in spotlight so long as he has the opportunities

To perform at the top to show the worth

Once dumped out without it, he is mere shadow of a glorious past

Past, more of a dream enacted with elegance

Fame and money will drain away, those who surrounds will fade away

There is no value when there isn’t opportunity to earn success

A faint hearted will succumb to very pain of losses

Won’t ever make an effort to move up again cursing fate

Or remaining content with what is available remembering glory days

But someone with the venom to take a revenge to the failed self

Cold blooded veins, battle hardened mind and ever dreaming heart

Will aid him to keep challenging the odds to rewrite the fate

If one knows the path to success and achieved once won’t forget it

Its clear when there isn’t any opportunity availing it has to be created

What it takes is never say die belief

Building the road back to the top right from the ground

Just like building a skyscraper right from the foundation

Clinching and clinging on the faintest chances even though non-valuable

Conquering it and risking the every step ahead building the confidence

Soon opportunities will come without even a hint

There wont be any surprise or any shock or over joy as its just another step

As any complacency at that stage is nothing less than suicidal

One who learned the lesson of loosing opportunities won’t ever let go another

As life is nothing but a continuous journey in search of glory

If stop again to celebrate it or relax a bit, others will overtake

An opportunity is worth a lifetime

The money, fame and all that we term as success

Just doesn’t comes as a gift from anyone

Everyone has to earn for the right to have opportunity

Being over joyed on lucky breaks wont do any good

As every rise has a fall, awaiting no one can escape this tide

One who learns the art to sail in this tide will be the survivor

Not a conqueror as bad luck can take away everything undeservingly

Numerous people suffered in the hands of bad luck

Many returned to the fold with hard work

And by taking the one off opportunity offered

Those we worship as stars are as susceptible as any other is

What makes them special and successful is their quest for more

Never to look down, just to aim high, high and high always

Amazing stories of comebacks are thrilling to read and to get inspired

All it takes is one opportunity to emulate them to be successful.
