It's too late for preparation when opportunity strikes.
When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare.
You don't really get to pick and chose what you would like to be doing. But I've been very fortunate, and I think water seeks its own level. You do gravitate towards things that you would get off on.
I feel really blessed that I found what I love doing and was able to make it a living from such a young age. I realize that I'm really fortunate. I didn't train; I kind of got lucky. And I remember that every day. I think I have to remind myself of that to really, fully appreciate life now.
Some say opportunity knocks only once, that is not true. Opportunity knocks all the time, but you have to be ready for it. If the chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.
I don't go out there looking, 'Hey, let me make this throw to show off my arm or anything like that.' But if it's there, I've got to take the chance.
If given a really great chance, I'm going to put it away every single time.
I think I've made some choices that maybe I wasn't so sure about for some reason or another. But I'm one of the lucky ones. Even when I was young, I played Bird, and that's a role people wait for their whole lifetime.
Opportunities ... fall in the way of every man who is resolved to take advantage of them.
I have to have an attitude of gratitude and not miss opportunities.
