The cost of opportunities

In the same way that a cause causes an effect, opportunities have a generating fact. In the vast majority of cases opportunities are the result of the combination of an infinite number of factors, being these unpredictable and incalculable, on the other hand, opportunities can be forged under a cost commonly composed of effort and dedication. All these factors and elements are qualitative, there is no way of knowing their value or the results they will offer, however, a frame of reference can be established based on self previous experiences or third parties experiences under the same conditions. That is, applying an equal or higher opportunity cost under the same context from which someone obtained an opportunity, one could infer that a similar opportunity could be obtained.

To obtain an opportunity under the focus of effort and dedication has a wide margin of probability for success in environments in which these elements are prioritized, basically society and its entities seek the best of the best, and under this criterion the existence of a tendency to require more and more effort and dedication is conditioned, that is, a higher opportunity cost in companies, academies, projects, technology, research and others.

Also, there are other aspects in which opportunity costs have no influence on the final results, many of these scenarios are situations in which opportunities are presented unexpectedly to anyone, we could easily call these situations as luck, fortune, chance, or fate. The truth is that it is unpredictable to know when someone could win a lottery prize, a bet, get a big help, or receive some unexpected benefit when they are at the right time and place.

The opportunities can be as varied as we wish, if we have high traits to cover their cost.
