[01:12.72]Now listen to the passage.No.37 my views on opportnity
[01:25.04]Views on opportunity vary from person to person.
[01:29.13]Some people think that opportunities are not really important.
[01:34.07]They are of this opinion because they think that if you have knowledge, skill or experience, opportunities will come to you naturally.
[01:43.20]Others, however, take a more positive view of it.
[01:47.73]In their view, opportunity is the most important factor on the way to success.
[01:54.74]Without opportunity, to their mind, hard work equals nothing.
[02:00.78]Moreover, they always complain that they are not successful because they are not lucky enough to get any opportunities.
[02:09.37]My view on opportunity falls between the two extremes.
[02:13.91]I am more in favour of an objective attitude to opportunity.
[02:18.93]It's true that "opportunity is fair to everyone", but it doesn't mean that everyone can make full use of it when it is under their nose.“
[02:28.09]Therefore, we should not rely solely on opportunity.
[02:32.50]Instead, we should work hard and get well prepared for its arrival.
