Re: oppurtunity knocks but once Sometimes a very good opportunity is available to you once in your lifetime.
In this saying, "opportunity" is something that is walking the streets, when it comes "knocking" on your front door. Be sure to answer the door because "opportunity" may not come back a second time.

Teacher Re: oppurtunity knocks but once The story is that "Opportunity" is a man with a long beard and a bald head. When he knocks, and you answer the door, you'd better grab him by the beard before he turns around and you have nothing to grab.

Re: oppurtunity knocks but once it means that when ever you find a time or the oppertunity to be someone or to do something, don't miss it and wait for a better opportunity.
grab it and use it and don't wait for the time a better opportunity comes to you. may be the better chance will never come to you.
