Six-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” How many times have you heard that phrase? Was it really a “once in a lifetime” opportunity? Here’s what the person below had to say about that: “Usually said about something that happens all the time, and something most people could get at least half a dozen chances at in their ‘lifetime.’”
It depends on the subject at hand. Sometimes you really are presented with rare opportunities that could happen again, but the circumstances with which they happened could change. Maybe this moment is best for seizing because it really may not happen again. That being said, plenty of folks abuse this phrase and utilize it for stuff that could easily happen in our lifetime.
