Summary

This quote suggests that opportunities in life, whether they be chances for success, personal growth, or new experiences, often come infrequently or in limited quantities. They may present themselves only once, requiring us to seize them immediately. Meanwhile, temptation, representing alluring and appealing choices that may lead to indulgence or wrongdoing, is constantly present in our lives, persistently seeking our attention and potentially derailing us from pursuing worthwhile opportunities. Therefore, it implies that while opportunities may be rare, temptations are always around, presenting a continuous challenge to make the right choices and prioritize long-term benefits over immediate gratification.
