“Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
— Thomas Edison
Simplified Meaning:
People often don't recognize great chances in life because they look like hard work. Imagine a student who dreams of becoming a successful artist but skips art classes and practice sessions because they seem too difficult. This student misses out on the chance to improve and achieve their dream because they avoid the hard work. Or think about someone wanting to start a business but feels it’s too much effort and paperwork, so they never begin. Opportunities often come disguised as tasks that require effort, commitment, and time. By seeing these tasks as valuable instead of just hard work, a person can seize the opportunities and turn them into success. This approach teaches that the path to achieving something meaningful often involves dedication and effort.
