Offer two practical recommendations to the person who made this statement
nordsb [41]

Since you are the person who made the statement, I suppose that I am needing to give you two practical pieces of advice... Here it goes....


1. Don't wait for opportunity to knock. Get up. Chase it down. And tackle it.


2. They say that "when God closes a door, He opens a window". When He opens that figurative window, however, some people are still worried about how they can pick the lock to get the figurative door open. Don't be that person.


I hope that this is good advice!
