Weekly words of wisdom

“You can’t knock on opportunity’s door and not be ready.”

– Bruno Mars

This week’s quote is from singer Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars’ real name is actually Peter Gene Boyat Hernandez and he is from Waikiki, Hawaii. Some of Bruno’s most famous songs include “Treasure,” “Grenade,” “Just the Way You Are” and “When I Was Your Man.” Bruno Mars was named in the Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world. Bruno has received many awards, has sold 10 million albums and 58 million singles worldwide.

This quote was chosen because it shows that opportunities are offered everyday and sometimes people are too scared to reach for their goals.  Many times people are too concerned with what’s the right thing to do, when they have an amazing experience that is just passing them by. Do not wish that something exciting would happen because something extraordinary is happening in everyone’s life each day.
