Risks and Opportunities


I grew up in a poor family. My father used to say, he wished he would have bought some property in a region around Madras, Oregon. He had the money. In today's terms, he would have purchased the property for less than $2,000 and 20 years later, it would have been worth $75 million. Why didn't he? He had a gut feeling he could make a fortune, but all of his friends told him he would be pouring his money down the toilet. His gut was right. His friends were dead wrong.

In this life, there are windows of opportunity. Those windows open and those windows shut. By the time my father realized he had made the wrong decision, the property had already soared in value and he had lost out.

The only people who have no risk in this life are dead. Life is full of twists and turns and those windows of opportunity.
