The train of opportunities passes only once in a lifetime and that's why you have to know how to recognize it and take advantage of it, even if it requires sacrifices. The greater those sacrifices are, the greater the value we give to the opportunity and the talents come out with a lot of discipline.

Indeed it's not that there aren't opportunities it's just that they are harder to come by and might not ever come around again so you need to grab them even if you don't feel ready. There is really no time for fear or considering your options which is something that not a lot of people can do, they weren't taught how to handle it and going on instinct you normally opt for the "safe" route
