Why do you say that opportunities are rare?

Opportunities often show inevitability in contingency and contingency in inevitability, so they are mysterious. The process of life is like a line, and opportunity is a point. Without the process line, there is no chance to order. Since the opportunity is inevitable in the accident, the accident in the inevitable must have its laws. Someone once made the following analogy: grasping an opportunity is like an eagle catching a rabbit, and it will be fleeting if you are not careful. To catch a cunning rabbit, an eagle must be steady, accurate and ruthless. Opportunity is like a rabbit, it is dynamic, not static, and the character of opportunity just waits for no one. The eagle hovering in the sky can only be said to be an "opportunity", and the moment the eagle catches the rabbit is an "encounter". What is waiting for him is not an opportunity, it is purely accidental. There is too little chance of death because a rabbit touched a tree and broke its neck. Waiting for him may not be possible once in a thousand years. On the other hand, when a rabbit breaks its neck and dies, it is really a thousand years. The opportunity cost of waiting for the rabbit is one thousand years, and its opportunity cost is too high.

Another feature of opportunities is that they contain high-income content. There is a biscuit seller in front of your house who sells it every day. You can see him every day, and a fair deal between the two sides is not an opportunity. First of all, the opportunity must have a value beyond the general interests, and at the same time, the opportunity is rare, which is what people often say: it is now or never. As mentioned above, "machine" is a line and "encounter" is a point. The opportunity we usually say mainly refers to the "encounter" part. Although carving a boat for a sword is an absurd joke, this joke is enlightening to us. Carving a boat for a sword is a misinterpretation of opportunity and a dislocation of the concept of opportunity. The running route of the "machine" has changed. Why did they meet? In real life, many people carve boats for swords. Many people cross the bridge when the opportunity has passed. The mistake of carving a boat for a sword lies in the dislocation of time and space. According to the direction of time and space, it is impossible for the opportunity to reappear where he painted. Because there is no pie in the sky, any opportunity requires people to have the corresponding skills and foundation. Therefore, long-term unremitting efforts are the conditions for grasping opportunities, that is, people often say that opportunities favor prepared minds. Gafur said: "The time may be to summon troops to fight, but the call of the horn will never create soldiers and victory." Opportunity is not unpredictable, it has its own laws. As a kind of time-space organization, opportunity has the law of time-space organization from the beginning, and time-space is irreversible, so there is a price, which is the price of time-space. The main feature of time is irreversibility, because time is one of the main reasons for opportunity. The temporal and spatial organization law of opportunity is mainly manifested in its directionality, that is, irreversibility. Strictly speaking, opportunities always appear only once, and the second opportunity can't be the same as the first one. Because opportunities are composed of time and space, choosing opportunities also requires time and space costs. We usually say that "time, location and harmony with people" are the three sports lines of success.

One day in the 1980s, a once-in-a-century total solar eclipse occurred in the morning. Modern science has already calculated the exact time of the total solar eclipse and printed it on the calendar. It should be said that watching the total solar eclipse is an open opportunity. Can this opportunity make money? A person has made a fortune because of this. The once-in-a-century total solar eclipse is what everyone wants to see, but it is not convenient to really see it, because it will be dazzling to see it directly with the naked eye. You can find a negative of a photo at home and look boldly through it; Another way is to pour some ink into a basin and watch the total solar eclipse from the reflection of the ink. However, most people don't think that people walking in the street should seize this opportunity. That's what this man thinks. He took a very simple method and made a lot of money. He processed a large number of dark films in advance and cut them into small squares. In the morning, he set up dozens of sales points in the city at once. The processing cost of a dark film is only a few cents, but he sold it for 50 cents each and was immediately snapped up. For those who want to see the total solar eclipse, it is absolutely worthwhile to spend 50 cents to buy a once-in-a-century opportunity, but for this film seller, you can get high profits. One of the most important factors of his opportunity is its time and space cost, because his opportunity is only once. Nevertheless, his chances of success are slim. If there is such an eclipse every year, it is not an opportunity. Everyone will do the same thing, and everyone can only compete fairly.

With the development of the times, opportunities are also improving. Entering the embarrassing era, opportunity seems to have a brand-new concept. On the internet, opportunities collide infinitely, and opportunities are almost too busy.

Once upon a time, in the American Standard Oil Company, there was a small clerk named Akibot. When he stays in a hotel on a long trip, he always writes the words "4 dollars standard oil per barrel" under his signature, and letters and receipts are no exception. When he signs his name, he must write down these words. Because of this, he was called "4 dollars per barrel" by his colleagues, but his real name was not mentioned.

Rockefeller, the chairman of the company, said after learning about the incident, "I want to meet those employees who have worked so hard to promote the company's reputation." So I invited archibald to lunch. Later, Rockefeller stepped down and Akibot became the second chairman. This is something that anyone can do, but only Akibot seized the opportunity. He was firm and enjoyed it. Among those who laughed at him, there must be many talents and abilities above him, but in the end, only he became the chairman. A person's success is sometimes purely accidental. But who can say that it is not a necessity?
