"When opportunity knocks” is a phrase that both excites and haunts If we hear it knocking there is excitement over what it will be. But the poets, philosophers, and experiences haunt us with the lostness of opportunity." That is, her hair is on her forehead and we must grab opportunity from the front because once passed, she has no hair behind to grasp And we miss the opportunity offered. A 10th century proverb haunts even more: “He that will not when he may, When he will shall have nay." But Francis Bacon takes the “luck" out of opportunity. Said he, A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds " There's the key! Opportunity does not so much knock on our doors as we must knock on her door. A wiser Man than all the rest put it this way: “Ask, and It will be given you; Seek and you will find; Knock, and It will be opened to you."
