“Maria Collins was offered the opportunity to be the supretindent of the LA County School System, she turned it down, the President of the USA approached her to be the Secretary of Education, she turned him down as well” Armed with $5000 of her pension fund, she started the Westside Preparatory School, (Schuller)

Collins has equipped herself with the skills, education, and experience necessary for the start of her business, and having putting in enough years in the teaching profession, she was more interested in equipping the children with tools for later development, she inculcated in them the idea that they are great and a different kind of person. That was her driving success, she came to a conclusion that pupils fail because they are reprimanded on everything, and they are not encouraged. The school set out to build a different kind of student, with a mindset to uplift them, she was successful in that.

I am not an educationist but I am only interested in what experience can do to a life a retiree. “Nothing is so great in the world as an idea whose time has come” And according to Robyn Davidson he said that “the two things I did learn were that you as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be and that the most difficult part of any endeavor is taking the first step, making the first decision”

Therefore recognizing that opportunity is a great task and it is the thin line between success and failure.  But people fail because they already defeated within themselves and as such failure is already imminent.

It is an invitation to a better development, wealth and education, but it is always difficult to arrive, most people have lost out at a point, they are supposed to be rewarded because they lack that zeal, patience and foresight. They discovered that what they have working hard for is being harnessed by another individual due to impatience.

Therefore the basic issue here is the ability to recognize when that opportunity is scaring you in the face. Will you be able to make that bold move at that crucial decision point?  Will you be found wanting at that point?  Taking the bold steps at the moment of decision is not an easy task as Maria Collins discovered, it was a great idea starting and making the good use of the opportunity when it presented itself.
