I have a question about the quote in her title!“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”Does this mean... "Hobos should build their own houses?"I really can't think of anything else it could mean.

"Hobos should build their own houses?"I really can't think of anything else it could mean. No, just a door. How the heck is a hobo gonna jump trains with a whole house?Well I'm just arguing the semantics here. Either you own no door or you need to build a new one. In the first case, if opportunity doesn't knock you've no door, then by the rules of logic if there is knocking you have a door. So basically she's telling hobos to build a house or forego the opportunities of life!~knocking -> ~doorknocking -> doorHow mean spirited! Otherwise we're just being instructed to make a door every time we think an opportunity has passed us by, and as there are infinite possibilities from which we simply can't all choose, we will build doors for the rest of our lives!Why I, feel as if I just missed the opportunity to build a door, time to build a door!

well, I was going to write a long reply here on how the OPs logic is a complete fallacy, but I can't be bothered as it doesn't look like they will ever read it.

RECYCLE Recycling is more than just tossing a few things in your bin here and there. You need to do more to make a positive impact. One way to reduce waste is to buy products with minimal packaging. Economy size things are great, since they are usually much bigger and you aren't buying so many smaller packages. Also you can try to buy reusable products. For example, when cleaning your kitchen you can use a wash cloth that can be laundered afterwards, rather than using half a roll of paper towels. Remember to recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. If you recycle half of your household waste each year, you will save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.
LIGHT BULBS Changing out your light bulbs with the energy efficient bulbs not only is great for the earth...it's great on your bills as well! They actually give off more light than the old ones, and also last much longer!
ADJUST YOUR THERMOSTAT This is a trick that will save the planet and your wallet at the same time. Make your home more energy efficient by adding insulation and weather stripping. Also, set your thermostat two degrees higher in the summer and two degrees lower in the winter.Just throw on a sweater, or cuddle with your spouse! This will also allow you to pay less for heating and air conditioning while saving about 2,000 pounds of carbon emissions each year.
CARPOOL Join a carpool or take the bus. You can help the environment and save money on gas. If your work isn't too far away, try walking or biking to work. Maybe you can add a few years to your life by getting some exercise too!
BUY GREEN PRODUCTS Look for products that say Earth Friendly, Greenlist, Plant Based Ingredients, or All Natural...even Organic. Buying these products are healthy for you as well. All those extra chemicals are making us sick, and polluting our earth.
REUSE PLASTIC BAGS If you can't buy the reusable cloth bags and avoid using the stores bags all together...you can at least reuse them at home. Please just don't throw them away. Those things are turning up everywhere! They are killing millions of marine animals in our oceans. These animals are confused by them, and when they are eaten, they die! So please, at least recycle them if your not going to use them for something else!
