[00:03.68]047. The Man and the Opportunity [00:14.03]The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. [00:23.49]Every lesson in school or college is an opportunity. Every examination is a chance in life. [00:31.91]Every business transaction is an opportunity - an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, [00:39.82]an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends. Every proof of confidence in you is a great opportunity. [00:49.00]Every responsibility thrust upon your strength and your honor is priceless. [00:54.61]Existence is the privilege of effort, and when that privilege is met like a man, [00:59.92]opportunities to succeed along the line of your aptitude will come faster than you can use them. [01:06.22]Young men and women, why do you stand here all the day idle? Was the land all occupied before you were born? [01:14.03]Has the earth ceased to yield its increase? Are the seats all taken? The positions all filled? [01:20.95]The chances all gone? Are the resources of your country fully developed? [01:26.73]Are the secrets of nature all mastered? [01:30.28]Is there no way in which you can utilize these passing moments to improve yourself or benefit another? [01:36.59]Don’t wait for your opportunity. Make it, make it as Napoleon made his in a hundred “impossible” situations. [01:44.77]Make it, as all leaders of men, in war and in peace, have made their chances of success. [01:51.45]Make it, as every man must, who would accomplish anything worth the effort. [01:57.44]Golden opportunities are nothing to laziness, but industry makes the commonest chances golden.
