第32章 旅游休闲篇(16)

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 sorryfor themselves.Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for them.

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 opportunityis on.What matters is what you do with.

我们呼吸的空气如此易得,以至于我们把它的存在视为理所当然。但是一旦失去它,我们活不过几分钟。基本上,谁都能呼吸到空气,谁都需要它。一些人需要空气 维持他们的生命,然而他们却碌碌无为,懊悔终生。其他人呼吸空气,并用它提供的能量使自己的生活绚丽多彩。

机会也是如此,它无处不在。机会如此唾手可得,以至于我们视之理所当然。但机会本身并不能创造成功。必须抓住机会,见机行事才能创造佳绩。很多人都渴望获 得先机,似乎获得先机就万事大吉了。这是不切实际的。

正如你需要呼吸空气一样,你也需要机会才能成功。然而,成功靠的不仅仅是机会,呼吸新鲜空气的机会,你必须利用机会。成功并不取决于机会,而取决于你自身 。重要的不是你在什么阶段遇到机会,重要的是你面对时如何把握机会。

小叮咛

①I'd like to develop some photos in my digital camera.我想冲洗数码相机里面的一些照片。develop在例句中意为“使(胶卷)显影,冲印”的意思 。例如:I had the film developed the day before yesterday,but they are not ready now.我前天把胶卷拿去冲印了,但是到现在照片还没洗出来。
