Quotation for the Week: Edison on Opportunity


Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas A. Edison


The trouble is, you have to go ahead and prepare the work, like a big dinner, without any guarantee that opportunity's ever going to show up (in scroungy old overalls or a tux and cummerbund) for the meal. But if you're looking for guarantees or hoping for easy, you've definitely picked out the wrong dream.

I LOVE this!

Merry Christmas to you both, and thanks so much for the excellent blog. I've enjoyed the posts so much, and will try to be a better commenter. :)
Glad you stopped by, Gillian! I love this quote, too. Even if it does make me feel guilty for taking off a few days. :)
