                              The Meanings of Opportunity
On our ways of life，we need various opportunities like the one to find a desired job or to enter a post graduate sch001．
Most of these chances involve the efforts by ourselves rather than things like a free lunch out of sheer luck．
However,the cartoon warns us，there are some people misunderstanding the word“0pportunity”，taking it as a luck like getting money by winning the lottery． 
We ourselves are the real creators of ouropportunities．
To begin with，opportunities，though a tiny proportion of the chances appear by unexpected chances，show up mostly with reasonable factors．
These factors involv our previous efforts andpreparation．
“Opportunities are prepared for the prepared．”
Next，opportunities are closely related to our goals．
If we set our goals earlier than others，learn as much knowledge as we can，we stand a much better chance to achieve Our goals．
To conclude，we are theopportunities-makers． 
Other accidental chances are beyond expectation． 
Therefore we do not necessarily count on them．
To seize the opportunities，we should set early goals and make efforts for them．
				
			
			
				
					机遇的意义 
在我们的人生道路上，我们需要各种各样的机会：其中包括获得一份理想工作的机会或进人研究生院的机会等。
其中大部分的机会都和我们自身的努力有关而非仅凭运气的免费午餐。
而这幅卡通警示我们有一些人误解了“机遇”一词，简单地将其理解为赢彩票这样的运气或者命运。 
我们自己才是机遇的真正创造者。
首先，尽管有极少不期而遇的机遇，大部分机遇的出现都是有其合理因素的。
这些因素中就有我们之前的努力和准备。
“机遇是给有准备的人准备的。”
其次，机遇和我们的目标息息相关。
如果我们能比别人早点立下目标，并去尽可能多地学习知识，我们就更有可能抓住机遇。 
因此，只有我们才是机遇的创造者。
其它偶然的机遇总在人意料之外，所以我们没必要指望它们。
要抓住机遇，我们应早树立目标并且为得到机遇做出努力。
