Be shrewd!

How do you exploit opportunities? General Grant gave too much credit to his mother when he said it was his mother's being without butter that made him general and president. Because in reality it was his own shrewdness to detect and catch his chances that eventually made him general and president (of the United States).

Take advantage of your circumstances!

How do you exploit your opportunities? You need to take advantage of your circumstances! Because in some periods of your life your circumstances will combine to help you. And because in some periods in other peoples' lives their circumstances will combine to thwart them.

Take prompt action!

How do you exploit your opportunities? General Grant gave too little credit to himself when he said it was his mother's being without butter that made him general and president. Why? Because it was his own prompt actions to exploit his opportunities that eventually made him general and president (of the United States).

There is no fate or luck

How do you exploit your opportunities? Please keep in mind that there is no luck (or fate, or chance, as commonly believed). Luck comes and goes like all other opportunities and occasions in life. You're considered "unlucky", if you neglect luck and allow it to pass by you unimproved. And you're considered "lucky", if you detect and seize your opportunities, if you exploit them, and if you make the most of them.

To sum it up

How do you exploit your opportunities? Exploit your opportunities by being shrewd, by acting promptly, by being sharp, and by taking advantage of your circumstances.
