How full of meaning are these words,
Buying up the opportunity To the
thoughtful man or woman whose one aim
is to make the most of life let us say:
First, That to secure opportunities one
must go where opportunities are. Oppor-
tunity may knock once at every door. but
by that very token may be found on her
rounds and engaged to aid our cause.
And then opportunities are best bought
by those who are seeking them. To every
thing that. comes by chance there are q
thousand that come by earnest seeking
and patient endeavor.
And finally this little text suggests that
we should act wisely" in the buying up
of life's opportunities. because the days
are evil" and much depends on how We
buy as to whether we shall make them
better.
