Grab Your Opportunity

Once upon a time there was a village with very religious people, who do prayers everyday on their temple.One day they had a huge rain and flooding started.All the villagers ran for safe places to save their lives.But a little boy ran to the temple to inform the priest about flooding.

Boy :- Dear priest , with the rain it is flooding.Come with me to save your life.

Priest :- No child.You better go now.God will come to save me.

So the little boy left the priest.Little by little flood reached the temple and the priest got on top of a table.

Again a man with a boat came to rescue the priest but priest again refused to go with the man by telling the same story.Man also returned back.

Inch by inch water level rose.Priest climbed upto the roof.Once he climbed a helicopter came to rescue him.But again he refused with the same answer.So helicopter helped others.

After this priest started blaming god saying I did prayers , I followed your philosophy , I respected you very much.I did everything but you didn't help me.After hearing the blaming God appeared in front of the priest and said

" I first sent you a little boy, then a boat and lastly a helicopter.But what you did was you rejected all the chances and you didn't recognized me.I helped you but you didn't identify."

And God sent him to a safer place.

In your life you will meet with opportunities.But you may not recognize them or wait for a better opportunity which would never come.Grab your first opportunity.Start working on it you may get better opportunities through this opportunity.Don't ever reject the first good chance you meet.

Suppose you are waiting for a job.You may be called for an interview which you don't want to go.But take that opportunity first.That may be the best thing at the moment.You can get an experience from that.You will learn something.If you don't like it you can leave the job but first try it.Without even trying how could you know if it's good or bad?Just try it.

Don't blame anyone saying you don't help me.Just open your mind and see if you are getting help.Again ! Grab your opportunity without rejecting that may be the best.
