333. Sieze Your Opportunities

The mafioso, Joe Bonnano attributed his success to the constant and continual seizing of opportunities as they arose. Because he was a criminal, do not confuse this advice with an instruction to commit crimes. The principle, however is still sound. Seize the opportunities as they arise. Don't do it just once, make a practice of it so that it becomes a habit. Often what happenns is that an opportunity presents itself and you recognise it. Then, because you can't quite see how the fine details can be worked out, you hesitate, lose confidence and let it slip away. Once you are sure, go for it then work out the details later. Just make sure the down side is protected and there is a way to recover any loss.

"When you know exactly what to do, to hesitate is to lose." - The Samurai, Katsumata.
