Creating Opportunity
by Jim Rohn
An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
참으로 많은 사람들이 "진취적"을 말 한다"전향적"을 주문 한다"적극적"을 언급한다. 그럼 왜 진취적 전향적 적극적이 못되고 그렇게 못할까. 여러 이유가 있겠으 그 중의 하나는 시도때도 없이 진취적전향적적극적을 사용하고 말하면서도 그 실제적인 실사구시적인 정의를 몰는 데 있다.
고철더미를 바라보면서, 고철더미위에 앉아서 거대 조각품을 바라보는 것이 진취적이다.
오래된 폐허를 지나가면서 재개발 재건축의 신도시를 느끼는 것이 적극적이다.
이를 위해 먼저 눈이 열려 있어야 한다 그리고 마음은 아주 활동적인 모드가 되어야한다
충분히 훈련되어졌고, 넘치는확신이 있고, 충분한 세려ㄴ으로 어떤여건, 어떤환경, 어떤현실, 어떤상황, 어떤주변, 그어떤 형편에 ㅗ처해 있다해도 기회를 발견해 내,는 그가 진정 진취적이고 전향적이고 적극적인 인물의 표본으로 성골출세재벌은 다만 시간 문제이다.
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It’s to b\e skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves... regardless of the economy.
A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Find out what you can before action is taken.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what's to come.
Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren't lazy. They don't wait for opportunities to come to them, they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.
Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.
What goes hand-in-hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.
And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature.
