The great opportunity is where you are. Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
Confidence is contagious and so is lack of confidence.
No man ever tripped over a mountain. It is the pebbles which cause him to stumble. Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand. We don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity.
