"What is opportunity, and
when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime,
listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are
opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You
prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize
opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a
self-image with which you are able to live -- with your self-respect
alive and growing."
-- Maxwell Maltz
