About this Quote

This quote by Jerry B. Jenkins speaks with the value of taking chances when they occur. He was welcomed to assist Billy Graham in his memoirs, and instead of instantly taking the opportunity, he put it off for a year. He shows that if he had known what he was putting off for a year, he might not have actually done so. This recommends that he was uninformed of the significance of the chance he existed with, and that he is sorry for not taking it quicker. It is a suggestion to us all to take advantage of the opportunities that come our way, as we might not know the full potential of what we are missing out on.
