“Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble”

Warren Buffett

Simplified Meaning:

Opportunities don't happen all the time, so when a big chance appears, make the most of it. Imagine it's raining gold. If you use a tiny thimble, you'll catch only a small amount. Instead, use a big bucket to get as much gold as possible. For example, if you get a rare job offer that could improve your life, accept it with enthusiasm and make the most out of it, rather than taking it lightly. This means being prepared, thinking big, and not being afraid to take full advantage of good luck when it comes your way. Making the most of great opportunities can lead to significant rewards in life.
