Opportunity

The objective was vague.
The resources meager, to non-existent.
The location was challenging.
The visibility would be minimal.
It could have been viewed as a dead-end job.
Something best left untouched.

And yet he cherished a challenge.
He saw potential in all "opportunities."
He could visualize success.
He accepted the assignment.

The future encouraging.
The road, though still challenging, seems to be easier to travel.

I met the man a week ago.
I was impressed.
His name is Athenagoras.
