【正确答案】[范文] Just as this picture indicates, opportunities are like nonscheduled ships; only those having bought tickets beforehand can get on board and sail to success. Therefore, it is advisable that we should value opportunities and treat them with care. Simple as it is, what the picture conveys is profound. Opportunities don't come often and usually come quietly and go by without being noticed. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If we really intend to fulfill our ambitions, we must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, we can take no advantage of opportunities when they duly arrive to visit us. Take China's accession to WTO as an example. Nobody will deny the fact that it is a golden opportunity. But not everybody or every company can grasp this opportunity and achieve success. The difference between those who succeed and those who do not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful people and companies have already made adequate preparations to catch hold of the opportunities. The unsuccessful ones, on the other hand, work little and therefore, have to let them slip through fingers. In fact, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are adequately prepared and highly qualified can make use of them to achieve their goals. Remember: opportunities favor the minds that are prepared.
