You have to create your own luck. You have to be aware of the opportunities around you and take advantage of them.
Success is about taking advantage of opportunity.
When it comes to WrestleMania, obviously you'll take whatever opportunity is put in front of you.
When opportunity knocks, invite it to stay for dinner.
At the end of the day, you should take every opportunity that comes your way.
Know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.
I think you balance the things you've been dying to do all your life. And the opportunities that come along, that you didn't maybe think of, that are so amazing, that you'd kick yourself if you didn't try to be a part of them.
Don't get me wrong: I've had a lot of fortune, to come where I've come from, to be able to move to Europe, to go racing. But I had that fortune behind me. I grabbed it with both hands, and I made the best of it.
In any field, when an opportunity arises, one mustn't let it go.
When you sit out, then you realize that, when you get the opportunity, how important it is to use that opportunity, not only as a player individually but also for the team.
You have to ride your luck a bit, you have to take opportunities when they come.
I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
I've made tons of mistakes over the past years, but if there's anything I've done well, if I see an opportunity, or if I see God moving or going in a direction or opening a door for me, I try to take it; I try not to hesitate.
I saw the prospect of serving as labor secretary as a wonderful opportunity to further the policies that I have been fighting for my whole life, and I had to seize it.
Life is too long to reject the opportunities in front of you every day.
I don't really think about it. I just try to find my opportunity and then attack.
One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Doors opened for me and I ran for it.
It always sounds so cheesy when I say it, but whatever it is you want to do, just go for it. I don't care what it is: find a reputable school, or if you need to go to college or get the right training, just go do it and take little steps.
I took Second City out of desperation, and that's what ended up working out. It shows that you should be doing a lot of different stuff, taking whatever opportunities are there, to see what works.
I try to make the most of every opportunity. If you don't, especially in WWE, those opportunities won't come around again.
If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.
When the right moment appears, the key is to not let it pass.
Basketball is a short period of time, and you've got to take advantage of it.
If an opportunity arises, then I won't use school as an excuse not to work.
