Seizing the Opportunity

Posted by You Teck - 31/08/08 at 12:08:30 pm

Opportunity doesn’t come twice.

The difference between winning and losing a battle resides purely on the general who seizes the opportunity when the moment comes. It’s a fine line that separates a resounding victory or a crushing defeat. I believe that opportunities will always drop into our lives on a daily basis and it’s just a matter of do we take it or not.

In work life there are advancement opportunities and in business world there are growth opportunities. I’m constantly surprise by the fact of the number of people and organization who will always choose not to take opportunities just so they could stay in their comfort zone.

Take an example in the business world, I wonder how on earth are most companies going to break into the blue ocean zone where so many of them are employing the sit and wait approach. It seems as if most of them are just content to be a mediocre organization so that they won’t fail or succeed dramatically.

Imagine the scenario where company A business solutions works perfectly for your company but because of increased competition your cost is increasing on a monthly basis. Now, company B comes up with close to the same business solution but with a completely new market share for you to reach out to.

Are you going to stick to company A because of blind faith and procrastinate or are you going to be the first to seize the opportunity?
