[00:00:00] 第10期青春励志(10)-英语听力

[00:00:17] Opportunity

[00:00:19] The air we breathe is so freely available

[00:00:22] that we take it for granted.

[00:00:24] Yet without it we could not

[00:00:26] survive more than a few minutes.

[00:00:29] For the most part,

[00:00:30] the same air is available to everyone,

[00:00:33] and everyone needs it.

[00:00:35] Some people use the air to sustain them

[00:00:38] while they sit around

[00:00:39] and feel sorry for themselves.

[00:00:42] Others breathe in the air

[00:00:43] and use the energy it provides

[00:00:45] to make a magnificent life for themselves.

[00:00:49] Opportunity is the same way.

[00:00:51] It is everywhere.

[00:00:53] Opportunity is so freely available

[00:00:55] that we take it for granted.

[00:00:57] Yet opportunity alone is

[00:00:59] not enough to create success.

[00:01:01] Opportunity must be seized and acted upon

[00:01:05] in order to have value.

[00:01:07] So many people are so anxious to "get in"

[00:01:10] on a "ground floor opportunity",

[00:01:13] as if the opportunity will do all the work.

[00:01:16] That's impossible.

[00:01:17] Just as you need air to breathe,

[00:01:20] you need opportunity to succeed.

[00:01:22] It takes more than just breathing

[00:01:24] in the fresh air of opportunity, however.

[00:01:27] You must make use of that opportunity.

[00:01:30] That's not up to the opportunity.

[00:01:32] That's up to you.

[00:01:33] It doesn't matter

[00:01:34] what "floor" the opportunity is on.

[00:01:37] What matters is what you do with it.
