RULE IV

 On Page 111 of his book, BEYOND ORDER 12 MORE RULES FOR LIFE, Jordan Peter lays out Rule IV: "Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated."

As usual, Jordan is correct, but I must add that opportunity lurks  everywhere, all the time, if one is living with a strong life plan that one forwards and implements all the time, in all ways that one honestly, honorably can. The failure to detect opportunity is due to one's mental sleepiness, one's unwillingness to detect what is readily available due to willful blindness, or an unwillingness to take charge and make something of oneself.

What Jordan appears to be appealing to in Rule IV is the fact that, should the alert, observant, energetic, responsible onlooker step up to the plate where others have neglected to assert their duty and responsibility, there great opportunity awaits the willing doer, and his insight is brilliant as usual.

Lower on the page, he refers to others at work as those that are narcissistic, incompetent, malevolent and tyrannical doing little needing doing. Should the doer step up to the plate and get things done, it could open doors.
