- Francis Bacon
About this Quote
This quote by Francis Bacon stresses the importance of taking initiative and producing one's own opportunities. It suggests that instead of waiting for opportunities to come to us, we must actively seek them out and produce them ourselves. This is an essential lesson for anyone who wants to be successful in life. It is insufficient to merely wait for the right chance to come along; we should be proactive and take the effort to make our own chances. This needs hard work, dedication, and a determination to take dangers. It likewise needs us to believe outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to our problems. By taking the initiative and developing our own opportunities, we can open a world of possibilities and attain our objectives.
"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough"
"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little"
