35.Opportunities

Some people believe that opportunities only knock at the door of the luckiest few regardless of their ability,educational background or what kind of person they are.Therefore,instead of working hard to create some chances,they wait passively¹ for the arrival of opportunities.

However,many others think that opportunities can be obtained with active efforts.In their eyes,opportunities always come to those people who are well prepared.So these people always work hard and try their best to seek every possible opportunity.

As to me,I think I would stand on the side of the latter group of people .If we do nothing but wait,we will rarely have any opportunities,as opportunities and our efforts are closely² related³.
