　　人生中我们经常会面临选择.我们还时常必须独立做出重大决定.这是我们每个人都要经历的重要时刻.

　　如果我们不想为自己做出的决定而感到后悔,就必须遵循这两个原则：一是三思而后行；二是不要错过任何机会.一方面,我们要对自身做出客观公正的判断,同时还要对我们周围的世界有一个清醒的认识.另一方面,我们对待机遇要用心思考.有些人可能不太承认机遇,认为机遇太少,而且只是那些幸运儿的专利.然而,机遇是属于每一个人的,所以在面对机遇时我们要充分利用它.每个人都应利用机遇,正如这句名言所说：“机遇只留给那些做好准备的人.”

　　所以当你再一次面对机遇时,请不要忘记开动脑筋,莫失良机,成功一定属于你
