We often miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work

There is far more opportunity than there is ability.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.

Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.
