"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

You don't have to be smart to succeed.
A book-on-tape on how to be successful in business made an observation that has stuck with me ever since.
Looking back, it wasn't necessarily the people who had ranked high academically who had become most successful. Often, it was the opposite.
The idea was that some people waited for the perfect opportunity, while others took a good opportunity and either turned it great or discovered great along the way.
They called it the corridor principle. You can't see every open door from the entrance. Sometimes you have to start walking before you even know an opportunity is there.
And maybe you're meant to be the one knocking.
