Opportunities vs Problems

Opportunities vs Problems

The following is a good excerpt regarding the Opportunities vs Problems. When engineering managers make their decisions to solve problems they should be well aware of this. Every problem brings an opportunity with it.
OPPORTUNITY LIES IN THE MIDST OF DIFFICULTY
Every problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful
that it literally dwarfs the problem.
The greatest success stories were created by people
who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.

You’ll find that every situation properly perceived
offers you opportunity.
As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it.

Successful people don’t achieve their distinction
by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them.
They developed an opportunity that was at hand.

You must make your own opportunities if you want to be successful.
They are all around you.
