A point between Success and Failure!

There is a point between Success and Failure, it is called "Opportunity".

The thing is that you need to realize and redefine your opportunities at the right point of time.

If one does so, they become popular and famous further, if not then they are proven to be the biggest failure in the near future and they later on say that-they regret their decision of not doing so.

But, what one can do with that regret later on, when you didn't identified that opportunity at the right point of time.

The one who identifies them, becomes successful in the near future and contrary while not doing so.

There can be different examples which one can give for this.

But, as I usually deal with the business-related examples. I would like to give two such examples to stress on my point.

One such example is Yahoo, who had an opportunity in 2002 to acquire Google for $5 Billion but Yahoo still regret the decision of not acquiring Google at that time for just the negotiation of $2 Billion to acquire Google, which lasted for about 3 months and last month it got acquired by Verizon in approximately the same price as that of the tiny AOL (tiny compared to Yahoo) and the sim was just $4.8 Billion. 

The other example which I would Like to give is of Instagram CEO and co-founder Kevin Systrom, who was been approached by mark Zuckerberg in 2004 to join the newly launced social networking site, Facebook. But, he denied the offer and chose to continue his school at Stanford University. FYI Instagram was acquired by Facebook for just $1 billion in 2012. Kevin still regrets his decision of not identifying the opportunity at the right time.

These two above cases, truly proves that between Success and failure there is a line called Opportunity, which need to be identified at the right point of time. else you need to regret later on, like Yahoo and Kevin are still doing.
