It's true opportunities are not available to everyone,but at least we all get some opportunity.

As I said earlier in my comment,I think taking and seizing opportunities takes personal development,the ability to see a good opportunity and seize it.

There are many people who have joined and still join Steemit daily,but few are the ones who see Steemit as an opportunity...This all stems to personal development!!!

Many guys can't see the opportunity Steemit is,it is because it is not related to their vision(if they have a vision anyway).....!!!

As you said we early adopters,I personally joined last June 2017,but still consider myself an early adopter and cannot cal myself lucky...I have searched for such an opportunity for almost 5 years......tried a lot of stuff and failed but never gave up until finally I got Steemit...
