Opportunity: A favourable or advantageous circumstance The recession is over – or so the pundits would have us believe. So what do things look like in your bit of the economy? Have you seen the graphs flatten out? Are the lines starting to turn positive? Does this create an opportunity for you to grow your business? Here are a couple of quotes about opportunity: In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. -Albert Einstein When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters: one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. -John F. Kennedy
