Smell of opportunity can give you a high if you know the value of it and wanna do justice to your in-built talent, provided you are lucky enough to recognize your inherent bent of mind. Opportunity is not limited to just occupation – it can be a chance to experiment with life – fall in love with all that life has got to offer. Push the boundaries of possibilities so that you can pave way and charter new territories for others and your own self. That fantastic feel of richness when you unleash your potential is simply worth all the sh*t you end up going through.
Talent is useless in the absence of an option to use it and one fails to hone his/her skill on a regular basis. Skill scores over talent any-day anytime. Skilled labor will always get paid more and can be a significant value addition than a talented but rusted individual – simply because skill can get things done and that’s how economy of any nation can keep a healthy pace. Dangerous outcome of COVID 19 is that it has the capacity to kill opportunities and hence the human spirit of optimism. That beautiful sense of “something wonderful is just around the corner” goes missing if openings continue to fade.
Optimism can’t operate on its own – totally devoid of other supporting factors such as Suitable opportunities, Sane state of mind, Conducive ambience, Solid support system that gives a sense of security etc etc . Even if someone is fortunate enough to reach a stage where he/she is no more dependent on lucky breaks given by others to feel fulfilled, they can’t take away the credit from all their past opportunities that they bothered to encash at some point which helped them to arrive at this juncture
Right opportunities that one can connect with are true blessings simply because they allow an individual to exercise his/her conviction by experimenting. Past success basically helps a person to take more unconventional chances thereby improving the probability of fresh outcomes that can be beneficial to everyone around.
A good break or a chance infuse so much optimism that it has the potential to nurture a person and empower him/her to reach a state of stability and sense of freedom. Financial and Emotional freedom can further give the required push to an individual to give back to the world around thereby creating the much needed infrastructure for growth – it’s a chain reaction
Conditioning gives pseudo security as it helps one to fit into the society decided scheme of things but we all know how hypocritical it can get and crush people severely because it can’t work for all. That’s where it becomes even more important that opportunities become accessible to everyone as it can gift exposure and experience – critical cause agents to open up human’s mind to become more receptive of myriad ways of living.
This can organically bring in acceptance, tolerance and respect quotient for anything that is unfamiliar or foreign to our senses.Diversity and globalization are our reality – we have to, we are and we will learn liberalism and find ways that can work for all simply because we have no choice. That’s the only way to survive on this planet. It’s more of pragmatism than utopian preaching.
Also, no matter how gloomy things might look at present– Call it nature or universe or so called Adam Smith coined term invisible hand operates correctly and sincerely to fix itself in such a way that show continues to go on. It’s mysterious but magical. Makes one believe in miracles time and again. We start to make sense of all the clutter and chaos around.
