The Sahara Desert,      (cover) most of North Africa, is the largest desert in the  world. From north to south the Sahara is between 800 miles       1200 miles and is at least 3000 miles from east to west.

Opportunities don’t come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without  (notice). Therefore, it is advisable   you should value and treat them with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it  its own. If you want to achieve something    intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared.   , you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and   
who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The    (success) person, on  other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. 1n my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified    (high) can make use of them to achieve     purposes.
