Making Magic Opportunities!, Francis Bacon

"A wise man will make more
opportunities than he finds."

- Francis Bacon -

Source and Origin

This encouraging advice was shared by Francis Bacon, a very smart thinker from long ago. He believed that instead of just waiting for things to happen, we should use our imagination and hard work to make our own magic!

Intended Meaning

Imagine you are playing a game and you are looking for a hidden treasure. Sometimes the treasure is hard to find. But what if you could build your own treasure chest? This quote tells us that smart people don't just wait for a lucky day. They use their clever ideas and brave steps to create their own treasure (success and joy) even when it is not there yet.

Reason for Recommendation

It is Monday! Let us be little magic-makers today. I chose this for you so you can feel strong and happy. You don't have to wait for someone to give you a chance. You can start your own small adventure right now. Let us see what wonderful things you can build this week!

Chance, Wall Street


You always need a catalyst to make big things happen.

큰 기회를 잡으려면 반드시 촉매로 작용할 재료가 있어야 한다.

Challenge, Joseph Campbell


Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

- Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

우리 내면에 깊이 감춰진 힘을 발견할 수 있는 기회는 삶이 가장 힘든 순간에 찾아온다.

- 조셉 캠벨 (Joseph Campbell)

Opportunity, Morgan Freeman as God from Evan Almighty (2007)

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be couragous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

- Morgan Freeman as God from Evan Almighty (2007)

제가 하나 물어보도록 하죠. 누가 인내를 달라고 기도하면 신은 그 사람에게 인내심을 줄까요? 아니면 인내심을 발휘할 수 있는 기회를 주실까요? 용기를 달라고 기도하면 용기를 주실까요? 아니면 용기를 발휘할 기회를 주실까요? 만일 누군가 가족이 좀 더 가까워지게 해달라고 기도하면 신은 따뜻하고, 묘한 감정이 갑자기 느껴나도록 해줄까요? 아니면 서로 사랑할 수 있는 기회를 주실까요?

- 신 (모건 프리만), 에반 올마이티 (2007)

Opportunity, Wall Street


Those who lament their misfortunes are generally they who do not recognize their opportunities.

- Wall Street

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "No great man ever complaint of want of opportunity."

자신의 불운을 탓하는 사람들은 대개 자기에게 주어진 기회조차 알아채지 못한 이들이다.

랄프 왈도 에머슨은 이렇게 말했다. 훌륭한 인물은 기회가 적다고 불평하지 않는다.
