Finally, when we finished our work (success), she gave each of us big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. It was not until then we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

That’s not up to the opportunity; that’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on, but matters is what you do with it.
