I was talking to a colleague in STEM who runs a lab. We agreed that when you give people opportunities, in about 85-90% of cases, they don’t take them. The remaining 10% take the opportunities and run with them, often in amazing ways. But that’s always a small minority.

I’ve wasted some major chances myself and I know how it feels to have no life energy to grab what’s dangling right in your face.
