Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the ageless words to describe the predicament of the ill-fated hero stuck on a ship in the middle of a becalmed ocean: “Water, water, every where,. Nor any drop to drink.” In Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Duke Orsino delivered one of the most memorable lines when he said “If music be the food of love, play on”. Shakespeare did not stop there: in a scene in Hamlet, when Lord Polonius asked Hamlet “What do you read, my lord?”; Hamlet responded “Words, words, words”.
Those “words” could go for “opportunities”. How do you discover them? Indeed, how can one be in the middle of the oceanic sea and still be thirty? How can the beats of opportunities by playing and yet we cannot hear? What do you see in Nigeria, Africa and the world? I hope you respond: opportunities.
Tomorrow at Tekedia Mini-MBA Live, I will explain how we can discover opportunities in markets. Yes, like Russell Conwell’s Acres of Diamond, we can find new vistas.
