"When it comes to opportunities and your creation of your life, basically you have a handful of choices:
1) You seek out opportunities, use them, and create your own luck
2) You wait for opportunity to knock on your door - and when it does you seize it
3) You lock your door and wait for opportunity to knock it down - which it might, but probably won't
4) You focus solely on avoiding things, including opportunities, and live the life of the zombies, the living dead
5) Out of fear / depression you kill yourself - and start over with a new body but the same challenges."

Of course my aunt will tell you that if you let go of the glass, it'll break and the beer will stain the carpet."
