    "Oh, ship ahoy!" rang out the cry;
    "Oh, give us water or we die!"
    A voice came o'er the waters far,
    "Just drop your bucket where you are."
    And then they dipped and drank their fill
    Of water fresh from mead and hill;
    And then they knew they sailed upon
    The broad mouth of the Amazon.

The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks
at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man's door,
and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club. The
world is in sore need of men who can do things. Indeed, cases
can easily be recalled by every one where Opportunity actually
smashed in the door and collared her candidate and dragged him
forth to success. These cases are exceptional, usually you have
to meet Opportunity half-way. But the only place where you can
get away from Opportunity is to lie down and die. Opportunity
does not trouble dead men, or dead ones who flatter themselves
that they are alive.
