'A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.'
--Winston Churchill

Hi all!
This is Episode 118 (S3:E9)
Our portion of the week is Vayeishev and our topic for this week: On Opportunity
We are often told that opportunity is everywhere... Did you see it? There went another one...
But how do we really find opportunities in life?
Is there a method or a set of skills we need to have to see the opportunities that are 'right in front of us'?
I think it's super hard, but we can do better!
Some of us will see the thing' in front of us and think: 'OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME' and run toward it!
Yet some of us will see the same thing and think: 'RISK' 'THREAT' and run for the hills!
Same exact thing!
Why? What is happening at that moment?
Why is one person ready to attack and the other ready to run?
That's opportunity!
This week we will learn from Joseph and his brother Reuben. We'll encounter Aaron and Boaz along the way as well, along with a handful of famous entrepreneurs.
Happy Learning!
and
Happy Chanukah to those celebrating beginning on Sunday evening!
