About This Quote

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door: is a phrase that can be seen as an encouragement to those who feel like they will never reach their goals. Opportunity doesn’t always knock on the front door; sometimes the most opportune time for opportunities to present themselves can come when we least expect it. We often hear things like, “Once you reach your retirement age, you won’t be able to find a job,” or “Once you get out of college you won’t have enough money to live.” However, we need to remember that we will always have opportunities and we can always build doors if we want something with more than just a possibility.
