DAYAK - WE ARE ALL CREATURES OF OPPORTUNISTS?

  • Stay away from politics because we (Atas Pagar) are opportunists!
  • Stay away from PR because we are opportunists!
  • Stay away from BN because we are opportunists!
  • Stay away from rural because we are opportunists!
  • Stay away from city because we are opportunists!
  • Stay away from business because we are opportunists!
  • Stay away from women/men because we are opportunists!
Opportunity is just as much dependent on external circumstances as it is on our views and attitude about the world surrounding us.

When we actively change our thinking, vision, hope and perception toward a more opportunistic mindset, we can actually invite more opportunities into our lives.

Opportunities are always available for us to grab every seconds, it’s been there all the times.

Opportunities can be shared, free, earned, negotiated, bought, assignable, transferable, divisible, swap or offset.

Opportunities may includes our rights, privileges, sovereignty, quotas, equity(s), stakes, allocations, equality, promotion, job, business, laws, ideation, knowledge, research & development, technology, education, monetary/non-monetary assets, lands, and other human needs/wants, etc

If you fail to identify and/or find opportunity, you fail to optimize any opportunity available to/for you, and you allow others to grab it. Opportunities come and go, and there are plenty for everyone (domestic, regional and global)!
  • Have Dayaks succeed in identifying, securing and/or taking advantage on various opportunities available to them since independence?
  • Have Dayaks failed to understand the meaning of opportunity?
  • Have opportunity(s) left Dayaks behind?
  • Have Dayaks discover opportunity on a daily basis?
  • Have Dayaks seen opportunity to develop their lands?
  • Have Dayaks deny and/or ignore opportunity within them?
  • Have Dayaks build “Opportunity Experts” and “Community Opportunity”?
  • Have Dayaks plan any opportunity for their next generations?
  • Have Dayaks invented new opportunity (tactic, technique, technology, etc) for them?
  • Do Dayaks aware of opportunity(s) available to them today and in the near future?
Many people are perfectly capable of understanding and discovering opportunities that greatly benefit their lives, but they unknowingly ignore these opportunities. This is because opportunity is just as much based on our way of seeing as it is based on external circumstances.

Opportunities are a lot like self-fulfilling prophecies....don’t You?

If we keep our eyes open for “loopholes”, “the unknown”, “gray areas”, “coincidences” , "incidences" and new ones, we are more likely to spot them when they actually pop-up in our lives.

But if we never look for opportunities, we often don't see them even when they are actually there waiting for us or in front of our own eyes.

Of course, opportunity has a bit to do with timing, hard-work, struggle, luck and chance, but it also has a lot to do with our beliefs and perspective.

Think and think of it for a second.....
