23 Times People Totally Missed An Opportunity To Give The Right Matching Names To Their Products

It’s said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity, but these examples are just too glaring.

One thing that can be very disappointing in life is when an opportunity is lost. You blew a chance that you had.

Instead of dwelling on what you missed, just make sure you seize the opportunity wave moving forward. To do this, you must be flexible in your thinking.

If something comes your way that you’re unsure of, try to learn or figure out how to make it a success. As James Clear, author of "Atomic Habits," states, "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."

Opportunity is said to dance with those who are on the dance floor. So prepare yourself mentally to party with opportunity and observe how every action, coincidence, and happening can lead to it. 

Just as Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist, would say,

"Opportunities often come disguised as challenges. Embrace them, and you might find the growth you never expected."

Although you certainly messed up, it is still fun. These wasted opportunities range from having lousy product names to losing a position at NASA, and they are moderately enraging but also humorous.
