Opportunity knocks

It is true that your pre-reg year is when you really start learning and one of the most valuable lessons that I learned was on my very first day. It sounds simple and at the time I thought it was all about keeping me hydrated but I was told: ‘Never walk past a cup of tea with your name on because it won’t be there when you come back.’ Like all great ideas it is deceptively simple, after all it is only a cup of tea, but it becomes more profound the more you think about it. How often do we walk past an opportunity only to find that when we actually realise how good an opportunity it is that it has gone.
