As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. 2 . No person will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because “every dog has his day”. For another, since opportunities don’t come often, we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Opportunities may easily slip away otherwise. 3 .

Two weeks later she went into my office beaming．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what？”she said．“I don't dry my dishes anymore，either．”One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect．This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time：No one can do it all．Each of us has to make choices and accept tradeoffs．The problem is，many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last．They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves
So what is the solution？There's an easy way．Decide what you want in your life，and put that first．On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers ．Fill more of your time with wanttodos instead of havetodos．

Who would have thought to put a kite and a surfboard together? It may seem like an impractical idea, but a man named Cory Roeseler from Oregon believed that it would work, and introduced the idea in the 1980s． Over the next few years, other designers contributed to the style and shape of the board, resulting in a mixture of kiting and surfing, which is what kite surfing is today．
The power kite pulls a small board that is fastened to the surfer’s feet, and there is a harness (安全带) that goes around the surfer’s waist to make sure that the surfer stays connected to the board．The wind determines which direction would be easiest for the surfer to go in．Once the kite surfer is able to control the board and the kite, they can learn many tricks, such as turning, jumping, and so on．
This sport can sometimes be potentially dangerous to other kite surfers, beachgoers, and the kite surfers themselves if they don’t know how the proper procedure is done． They can learn the techniques safely without putting themselves and others in danger．A good course should include basic operations, kite set-up, maintenance (维修) of equipment, weather planning, and emergency landings．These courses are available in almost all areas where kite surfing is popular．
Some popular destinations for kite surfing enthusiasts are South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, but wherever there is wind, there will be kite surfers．You might even be able to see kite surfers on the beach closest you!
