Opportunity

Random thoughts about opportunities.

"When opportunities come calling, they really don't really call you by your first name or last. Life just throws them at you. It's a split second decision to differentiate an opportunity from a risk and act. Hence you better be prepared to catch them.

It's like that bouncer from Shoaib Akhtar that rises in your face. You - as Sachin Tendulkar - need to decide if you want to duck and play safe or go under it and scoop it for a six.

An opportunity never goes wasted - if you don't catch it, someone else would. Hence you better take risk."

Like someone - I guess it was Ratan Tata - said, "When you are asked to take a difficult task/opportunity that you don't know how to do, first accept it and then figure out a way to get it done"

He and She

She smiled.
He confessed "I love you"
She didn't answer.
He asked "Do you love me"
She didn't answer.
He was heart broken and cried like a baby.
She didn't answer.
He left her ... forever.
She didn't answer.

Little did he know. She wasn't allowed.
She wasn't allowed to answer.
She wasn't allowed to love ... again.
She was a widow.
She could just cry .... silently ... for rest of her life.
