1. This one about how hard times can be a blessing

2. About making the best of the situation
“There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
– Sheryl Sandberg
3. How we are our habits

Which one is your favorite?
The second one, because it makes me think 🙂
“You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around.” What’s the other away around? Is it when you’re trying to fit yourself for an opportunity? What makes the difference?
It makes me think, also. Even more so with your comment. I think the other way around is when you try to find the perfect opportunity for you. In the worst case scenario, that might be an endless search looking for opportunities. Putting us in a situation where nothing will happen. I think it is all about making the best of the opportunities that we do have. It is easy to get stuck in an endless loop for the perfect thing. What do you think?
