Someone said “a good opportunity seldom knocks your
door And never repeats itself “
aptly said …
life is all about cashing in on those opportunities ...everyone can’t be very lucky to get numerous opportunities in life but it is within everyone’s personal capability to be brave and determined enough to jump upon on whatever opportunities he /she has got in life …in today’s world of cut- throat competition world needs knife edge sharpness and excellence …so in order to outshine u need to be aware of opportunities in and around u …in short u need to be OPPOPRTUNISTIC ..
we really need to understand what this theory of OPPORTUNISM actually is ??
Wikipedia people define” Opportunism as the conscious policy and practice of taking selfish advantage of circumstances. And when we talk about human opportunism, it often has a strong negative moral connotation.. “in short in relation with human behavior, opportunism has always been considered to have a connotation of lack of integrity and anti-social selfishness .But this is not what I am here to delve into .what intrigues me more is the positive sphere of opportunism as a whole ,meaning by opportunism in human psyche which translates itself to something like “ making most of the opportunities while they are there.”or I wud rather put it “MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES “

Opportunism in today’s real time scenario has got two important aspects …
first primary element is OPTIMISM.. it is the ability to sense the opportunity in different situations and the same time develop a strong conviction that yes here is my chance …
an optimistic person sees opportunities in almost every situation ,and here lies the root of chaos of life ..
too much of optimism means u find yourself entwined and entangled amongst opportunities making your head spin with numerous choices ..this leads to half matured decisions leading on to unsatisfied lives.. And this particular syndrome is ,as I have come to diagnose ,sole reason for unhappiness of our intelligentsia .I mean , wouldn’t it be expecting too much if we nurture spurious hopes of a solid structure on foundation of half- baked bricks of decisions ?
it is no surprise that sometimes it all just falls like a pack of cards ….
and instead of understanding the fact that we saw too much of an opportunity and did too little to back ourselves what we actually do is
we fret ourselves , curse our fate , indulge in blasphemy and entertain all kinds of objuration and profanations as our articles of faith allow us .
That actually underlines the importance of the other side of the coin ,that is ,the other aspect of opportunism “REALIZATION “
well I prefer to call realization as the balancing factor for optimism or rather say balancing excess of opportunism .Realization can be deemed as real time analysis of any situation ..an analysis that is not biased and weighted in assessing its pros and cons by virtue of what we call too much of “HOPE”.
I undoubtedly give in to the fact that hope has been an elemental constituent of motivation since the haydays of human civilization but too much of hope just strangulates the power of reason and logic to think and act clearly as per given circumstances .so u see opportunism creates its own nemesis and that is over reliance on hope and optimism.
SO what I propound is :life is just about finding the right balance between being opportunistic and being realistic.”NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE “ only looks good on paper .In life u need to have a stock of the situation and rather focus on what is possible with your given circumstances .And this balance can only be achieved with experience and training of the “self”.yes and this balance is unique for every person depending upon his/her innate abilities and also his/her inherent defects.
Don’t get me wrong.I m not discouraging you to not think out of the box or to reach out for. No absolutely not .
All I really mean to say is that if a spaceship has to reach mars it should have fuel enough to get there .
We can not just pray and hope that whatever fuel it has, it will take it to mars .
I think this example brings home the point ..
