Opportunity has been defined as the favorable time or chance for something; Or to do something. It can also be said to be, “The favorable time or chance of doing something or taking a line of action.” Which way, however, any action or venture favorable at a given time is an OPPRTUNITY. So then, it requires preparedness, foresight and action to really grab an opportunity. Since time and chance are the two determining factors for an opportunity it requires NOT just preparedness, foresight and action alone it also requires intelligence and good application of common sense (which isn’t common) invariably speaking, it means every opportunity needs someone to avail himself or herself to it by showing a remarkable alertness and readiness to act NOW!

1.)        Inadequate preparation or poor preparation

2.)        Carelessness or negligence and unwillingness to act

3.)        Too busy or no time
