Now listen to the passage.No.37 my views on opportnity |
| [01:25.04] |
Views on opportunity vary from person to person. |
| [01:29.13] |
Some people think that opportunities are not really important. |
| [01:34.07] |
They are of this opinion because they think that if you have knowledge, skill or experience, opportunities will come to you naturally. |
| [01:43.20] |
Others, however, take a more positive view of it. |
| [01:47.73] |
In their view, opportunity is the most important factor on the way to success. |
| [01:54.74] |
Without opportunity, to their mind, hard work equals nothing. |
| [02:00.78] |
Moreover, they always complain that they are not successful because they are not lucky enough to get any opportunities. |
| [02:09.37] |
My view on opportunity falls between the two extremes. |
| [02:13.91] |
I am more in favour of an objective attitude to opportunity. |
| [02:18.93] |
It's true that "opportunity is fair to everyone", but it doesn't mean that everyone can make full use of it when it is under their nose.“ |
| [02:28.09] |
Therefore, we should not rely solely on opportunity. |
| [02:32.50] |
Instead, we should work hard and get well prepared for its arrival. |
