In life people take advantage of what can allow them
to prosper. Julius Caeser , of the Roman empire once said , “ I came, I saw , I
conquered.” Coming from a man who truly did make the Roman Empire as big as it was,
the quote comes to show that he was not a fool. The minute a land was discovered
to have riches that would benefit the empire, such as fruits, gold, animals,
etc. He seized the opportunity to “conquer
it “.
This
concept still continued to be practiced centuries later. Take the British for example,
in the 17th century they conquered land in Virginia. Although, the
land did not have gold as they desired to find like the Spanish did in Latin America,
they found the land to have “black gold” or what we know as tobacco. The
British sailors saw that they could easily make profit out of the product to benefit
the mother country. Even today people don’t just sit around after seeing an
amazing opportunity. If one finds out that there is a position in Victoria Secret,
no one will just let it be. People will want to grab that opportunity before
someone else occupies it. Women
especially will fill out the application and submit their resume. When you “see”
an opportunity you will “conquer” it by taking it, or at least attempting to.
