Y ears ago, I discovered a truth about success in work and in life. Opportunity is a great motivator. People put in the effort today because it leads somewhere tomorrow-because it helps them get closer to realizing their dreams. The expectation that there are more open doors, clearer paths, warmer weather, and brighter prospects ahead keeps people going during even the darkest days of the coldest winters. But closed doors and limited options depress aspirations. Without opportunity, people cannot prosper. When people close their minds, fearing the future, they fail to learn how to master new challenges. Closed doors also permit mischief to take place behind them that can distort outcomes. And when countries and companies alike systematically close their doors, they erect barriers to problem solving and allow a few to succeed at the expense of the many.
