WHAT IF The Ship Has Sailed?

WHAT IF The Ship Has Sailed?

Oooops, our thread today is NOT about maritime travel.  No sirrrrs.  This is just an analogy of LOST OPPORTUNITIES in life which is akin IF The Ship Has Sailed?  Visually, we all factually know that once a ship has sailed, there is NO turning back [of course, EXCEPT for major emergencies that will render the vessel incapable or at risk

Frankly, throughout our lifetime, we have that invincible darts board right in front of us.  Problem is, most of us are either too complacent or we tend to simply ignore the fact that there is NO INFINITY in those LOST OPPORTUNITIES to finally hit the board, if NOT the bulls eye.  Truth is, we DO NOT live atop a bottomless pit.  Each time we miss or fail on something, that is one less OPPORTUNITY hanging in the balance.  Would you wait for your balance to ZERO-OUT❓❓❓

BTW, let's NOT take things literally here.  We are NOT tourists or holidaymakers dreaming to take the Caribbean Cruise.  In our lifetime, that cruise ship is right on our plate, right on our very nose but sadly, on a first person account, I can attest I have seen many people who squandered such LOST OPPORTUNITIES 

Concrete examples of many squandered OPPORTUNITIES:  Someone who's jobless and scouring the job market was advised by his friend that the latter will see if he can find a job opportunity for him.  What does that hapless fellow do?  DO NOTHING except wait and wait for his friend to call with the GOOD NEWS.  Whew, good grief

What's our FIX?  Never let OPPORTUNITIES slip past your hands without even lifting a finger.  That is NOT only pitiful but pathetic to say the least. As this boring poster says it all, IF YOUR SHIP HAS SAILED, YOU MISSED YOUR CHANCE !@#$%?
