Opportunities don't turn into much if you don't reach for them and strive to do the best you can with them.

Thats for damn sure. Gates and the guys that originally started Microsoft werent aftraid of work. I think in the beginnning they all pretty much lived at the office and made next to nothing.
I recommend reading one of the several biographies out there on him. There is some knowledge to be gleaned there about hard work as well as managing people as well as YOURSELF and your money.
Bill Gates once said 64K of memory is enough for anything you wanted to do in life. He was wrong.
It reminds me of how some people constantly say there are no new frontiers to innovate in this industry. Yet you see new niches and business models continue to pop up.
