Missing an oppurtunity

Let's start with a great quote by Tom Peters, “If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.”

When you get an oppurtunity, you don't really have to let it go, that's what every wise person will advice you. A great king always hears to what the advisors have to say but he only decides and does what his own heart agrees on. So, again, I missed an oppurtunity to grow myself professionally, it was a job offer with few advantages and few disadvantages, I'm not discussing those right now, but just wanted to throw it out that I'm really sad about it that I rejected a great offer. I always decided about my job on one principle and that is, I make a rough sketch in my mind about what I've planned for next 12 months and what are the current situation, and how things can change. I've to leave for further education and that is the reason that I've to sacrifice another great oppurtunity, I hope I'll get same oppurtunities once I'm ready to 'only' work. And definitely I can't sit on the same chair rusting my head off. It's always good to work where you learn and keep your knowledge polished through out, everyone should make sure that they learn something new each day, a day of just 24 hours, seriously if you start calculating, life really seems too short, that's why it's good to stay ultimately busy in so many things that you never get time to calculate life, but again I would say, everyone of us should learn something new each day and help people with our expertise and knowledge. Blah, this post was just a random thrust of emotions. I hope things get better.
