Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of actively seizing opportunities as they arise. Just as we may rush to draw conclusions or make judgments based on limited information, we should also be equally quick to recognize and pursue the chances that could lead to success. It encourages a proactive mindset, reminding us that holding back and hesitating can prevent us from making the most of favorable situations. By embracing opportunities with the same urgency and eagerness that we approach drawing conclusions, we can increase our chances of achieving our goals and attaining success.
