1 " Taking the path with the least resistance does NOT mean take any opportunity that comes to you. Some opportunities are traps! "

2 " How we treat one another matters, and not just in a " it's nice to be nice" kind of way: our behavior contributes to an environment that encourages some opportunities and hinders others. "
3 " Time is limited and some opportunities never repeat themselves. "
4 " Of course genes can’t pull the levers of our behavior directly. But they affect the wiring and workings of the brain, and the brain is the seat of our drives, temperaments and patterns of thought. Each of us is dealt a unique hand of tastes and aptitudes, like curiosity, ambition, empathy, a thirst for novelty or for security, a comfort level with the social or the mechanical or the abstract. Some opportunities we come across click with our constitutions and set us along a path in life. "
― Steven Pinker
