You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live -- with your self-respect alive and growing.","author":"Maxwell Maltz","tags":["opportunity","self-image"],"id":94163,"author_id":"Maxwell+Maltz"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":33,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
