When Preparation Meets Opportunity

This is the story of Gerald Irons, during his journey as a young man and how he learned to overcome obstacles and challenges, to achieve his dreams and goals in life through faith, hard work, perseverance and preparation.


When you tell someone your dreams, if they say your dreams are impossible, then your dreams are big enough. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. When you prepare yourself, opportunity is always there to shake your hand. When you create your own opportunities through preparation, great things will happen.


When he faced challenges, he used the acronym PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens.
