Maguire Here. And here’s a little story (a true one) that I think you’ll appreciate…

The first time I met Colonel Sanders at his office in Louisville Kentucky, I noticed a beautiful needlepoint sign on the wall which read simply “Opportunity is Nowhere.”

I asked him what the sign meant to him. He asked me “What sign?”

I pointed to it and said “That sign, Colonel…the one that says Opportunity is Nowhere.”

He replied “That’s not what it says.”

I respectfully replied, “Colonel, I went to the University…I know how to spell…and that sign
clearly says “Opportunity is NOWHERE.”

“Look at it again,” he said. “Do you see it?” He looked me right in the eye and said to me

“It reads “Opportunity is Now. Here.”’

The lesson of this story is very simple. Life is how you look at it, how you see it, how you believe it to be. I saw “nowhere” the Colonel always saw “Now. Here.”

OPPORTUNITY IS NOWHERE.

OPPORTUNITY IS NOW. HERE.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t…either way, you’re right.
