I beg to differ.

The ability to recognise opportunity has a lot to do with opportunity! It's followed by the ability to assess, develop and sustain it as a viable courseof action.

They are the #1 skill attribute of successful entrepreneurs!

My point, drawing intellectual cues from the late creativity maestro Dr Edward de Bono:

"The reasons that many opportunities pass us by is a perceptual one - we do not recognise an opportunity for what it is. An opportunity exists only when we see it." ...

"Everyone is surrounded by opportunities. But they only exist once they have been seen. And they will only be seen if they are looked for."!
