You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.
I'm not opposed to anything. If an opportunity comes across, I'll answer the door if it comes knocking.
When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through.
We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.
Opportunity knocked. My doorman threw him out.
My dad used to tell me, 'Look, son, opportunity does not come knocking.' It's usually running down the street, and you have to chase it down, you have to tackle it, and then you have to hang on to it.
You never know what doors are going to open up and why they are going to open up. You've got to be ready to walk through them.
No one expects the doormat to stand upright, shake itself off, and amble down the street to seek its own happiness.
Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.
