About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Restrictions: None
Opportunity
Prompt: Is opportunity something that happens or comes to you on its own or is it something you can create for yourself? If both, which one applies more to your life?

========


Opportunity is something offered or taken to advance a learning, a career, or anything one wishes to engage in. Some people detect the opportunities even if they are hidden. Still others can create opportunities when there are none.

In my case, not being anything even a mile close to a shark like those guys in the TV program Shark Tank, I never created opportunities for myself knowingly. If anything, when something like an opportunity sprouts up, you can be sure I’ll mess up even if I plan to make use of it. But as fate or luck must have smiled at me, when I pursued an interest close to my heart, it ended up throwing opportunities my way. So, I never had to push myself too hard, applying for a job or working too hard to get one. I guess going after my heart's desires helped a lot in my case.
