Thinking Out Loud: Prepare Yourself for Your Opportunity

“One chance is all you need.” ~Jesse Owens

NOTE: Jesse Owens, a graduate of The Ohio State University, competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Owens, a black man, represented the U.S. in four events, the 100 meters, 200 meters, 4 x 100 relay, and the long jump. Owens won a gold medal in each event. Through dedication, hard work, and discipline he took advantage of his chance. We all get opportunities. They may not be participating in the Olympics, but they are opportunities. Are you willing to put in the effort, dedication and discipline required so that you are ready for your chance when it presents itself?
