Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity       is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as    the opportunity will do all the work. That's impossible. Just     you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's    up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is    you do with it.
