Quotation
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.”
William Shakespeare
The idea behind the quotation
Opportunities can lead to success if we act at the right time; if we miss them, our lives may remain difficult and unfulfilled.
