Times of oppression and adversity cannot last forever. How is the transition
made to new and better situations? In the midst of great difficulty, a tiny
opportunity will open, if only by chance. You must be sharp enough to discern
it, quick enough to catch it, and determined enough to do something with it. If
you let it pass, you will be filled with regrets.
