In this article, Harrison discusses how you should seize every opportunity that comes your way. Opportunity actually presents itself before you very often and in the most unusual way. Taking advantage of the opportunity would mean that you first recognize its presence, and then utilize it in the smartest way possible. You need to be prepared for it at all times and you also need to realize that they appear to only those who are ready to grab it. Look at the world and the people, places, and things in it as sources of continual opportunity as well as at the things that are presented to you as opportunities, not as obstacles. Harrison believes that everyone is confronted with opportunities but only a handful would recognize and make proper use of them.

In this article Harrison discusses the importance of encouragement. If you look at most successful people, somewhere in their background there is someone cheering for them and believing in what they can accomplish. When people take the time to encourage and believe in us, they are giving us one of the greatest gifts we can receive. When we believe in people and what they are capable of accomplishing, it can change their lives. Consequently, these people rise to a higher level of achievement than what they might have experienced without our involvement. We become a voice in the background, whispering words of encouragement into their ears. Make others better off in the world by virtue of having met you, and having related to you. Your goal should be to make the world a better place, and it all starts with making sure you encourage others.
