Hive Open Mic Week 133 || Opportunity By Quvenzhané Wallis (cover) || Eng-Esp
My dad used to say something to us: It's "now or later," not "now or never," meaning opportunities will always come around and it's up to you to discern which to take and when. This is not a call to mediocrity; it's just an enlightenment on how to maximise opportunities that come our way. So we keep on keeping on, hoping for the best and, with God's help, making beautiful lives for ourselves.
Like I mentioned in my intro, I feel Hive has given me priceless opportunities. Being on Hive has opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities and has actually made me more confident in the person I am and am becoming. This would've taken a lot longer without this platform. I might as well turn this post into a vote of thanks 🤣. Certain people I met through Hive are already near and dear to my heart, and if I start making a list eh.... The love and support warms my heart 🥰🤗.
@olujay, @josediccus, @jaydr, @hopestylist, @monica-ene, @merit.ahama, @maryjacy, @onos-f y'all are absolutely wonderful people 🤗🤗, thanks for always! 🤗❤️
Hola amigos, es una hermosa semana en la comunidad de micrófono abierto Hive 🥳, una llena de "oportunidades" 😂. Gracias, Hive Open Mic, por el honor que me han dado de elegir el tema de esta semana. Hasta ahora, he visto tantas entradas hermosas y he aprendido mucho sobre las oportunidades.
Mi padre solía decirnos algo: Es "ahora o después", no "ahora o nunca", lo que significa que las oportunidades siempre aparecerán y depende de ti discernir cuáles tomar y cuándo. Esto no es un llamamiento a la mediocridad; es sólo una iluminación sobre cómo maximizar las oportunidades que se nos presentan. Así que seguimos adelante, esperando lo mejor y, con la ayuda de Dios, haciendo vidas hermosas para nosotros mismos.
Como mencioné en mi introducción, creo que Hive me ha dado oportunidades inestimables. Estar en Hive me ha abierto los ojos a un montón de posibilidades y me ha hecho confiar más en la persona que soy y en la que me estoy convirtiendo. Esto me habría llevado mucho más tiempo sin esta plataforma. También podría convertir este post en un voto de agradecimiento 🤣. Ciertas personas que conocí a través de Hive ya están cerca de mi corazón, y si empiezo a hacer una lista eh.... El cariño y el apoyo me calienta el corazón 🥰🤗.
@olujay, @josediccus, @jaydr, @hopestylist, @monica-ene, @merit.ahama, @maryjacy, @onos-f sois gente absolutamente maravillosa 🤗🤗, ¡gracias por siempre! 🤗❤️
Lyrics/ Letras
Under the glow of the very bright lights
I turn my face towards the warm night skies
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above five hundred smiles
Oh, I used to think
"What wouldn't I give
For a moment like this?"
This moment, this gift
Now look at me and this opportunity
It's standing right in front of me
But one thing I know, it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight, I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
My big opportunity
And now I'm right here and it's time
'Cause this is real, this is real and it's all mine
I'm not afraid, afraid to fly
When it's above five hundred smiles
Oh, I used to think
"What I wouldn't give
For a moment like this?"
This moment, this gift
And now look at me and this opportunity
Is standing right in front of me
But one thing I know, it's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show
Under the spotlight, I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So, look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment, you see?
My big opportunity
I won't waste it
I guarantee
Oh, solía pensar
"¿Qué no daría yo
Por un momento como este"
Este momento, este regalo
Ahora mírame y esta oportunidad
Está delante de mí
Pero una cosa sé, es sólo parte de la suerte y así
Estoy dando mi mejor espectáculo
Bajo los focos, estoy empezando mi vida
Los grandes sueños se hacen realidad esta noche
Así que mírame y esta oportunidad
Estás siendo testigo de mi momento, ¿ves?
Mi gran oportunidad
Y ahora estoy aquí y es el momento
Porque esto es real, esto es real y es todo mío
No tengo miedo, miedo a volar
Cuando está por encima de quinientas sonrisas
Oh, solía pensar
"¿Qué no daría yo
Por un momento como este?"
Este momento, este regalo
Y ahora mírame y esta oportunidad
Está de pie justo en frente de mí
Pero una cosa sé, es sólo parte de la suerte y así
Estoy dando mi mejor espectáculo
Bajo los focos, estoy empezando mi vida
Los grandes sueños se hacen realidad esta noche
Así que, mírame y esta oportunidad
Estás siendo testigo de mi momento, ¿ves?
Mi gran oportunidad
No la desperdiciaré
Te garantizo

Stunning, I never felt you'd disappoint and you eventually didn't. I was also looking forward to this though, Saturday and eventually it came through.

You're totally born to do this even beyond hive. Best of the bestest hahaha.

I think it's my neighbor's loud guest that distracted me 🤣😂, you should've seen my expression before that 🤣.
Awwww, I'm glad you enjoyed this 🥰. 🙈🙈 Thank you for the compliments 🥰. May I offer you the role of my agent and/or manager? 😂😂
For many of us, if not all, Hive has been a big opportunity. There's just so much room for growth, and connection with brilliant minds too, in this big space.
What song could be better than this for the theme? I never saw Annie, but I sure could relate to the message. Excellent song choice!
As a friend, I'd say I am proud, and privileged too, to be associated with a star like you. I love your music and the vibes you bring to the table. Is it your voice, or your ambitious nature, or your kindness? They are all beautiful parts of you that represent your interesting personality.
Congratulations on being the spotlight artist for this week. You also did really well by visiting the majority of the entries made this week. I say a big well done!
Oh yeah, I can say I've made tremendous growth since I joined Hive, even off the platform. There's more than enough space for everyone.

Hola, amiga @sekani, quería escuchar tu canción ya que me gustó mucho la letra. Y estoy plenamente de acuerdo con la frase que dice tu papá. Esverdad, siempre habrá oportunidades, debemos mantenernos en actitud de alerta para poder aprovecharlas. No pude escucharte porque en esta computadora no se abre tu video. Pero me gustó todo lo que leí en tu post. Mil bendiciones y éxito en cada oportunidad que se te presente.
Hello, dear friend @sekani, I wanted to listen to your song since I really liked the lyrics. And I fully agree with the phrase your dad says. It is true, there will always be opportunities, we must remain alert in order to take advantage of them. I couldn't hear you because your video won't open on this computer. But I liked everything I read in your post. A thousand blessings and success in every opportunity that comes your way.

This entry seems to be as though, you've waited for an opportunity to conquer your fears and yes! You've gotten one and utilized the opportunity, am so glad to listen to your entry and I've also learned something new too. Opportunities will always come, it's left for us to discern which is best to take hold...

Muchas gracias por las amables palabras amiga🥰🥰. Enviando mucho amor 🤗❤❤.
Every time I visit you is as if it were the first time, with this I want to tell you, that you leave me floating in the air; you manage to create such a beautiful connection with the songs you choose and your voice, even speaking you transmit a lot of peace... you are too cool Sekani 🌹😍💖!!!!
I'm so glad that Hive has improved your life, you are so talented and there should be no insecurities when you master something so well. For me in particular they were removed when I graduated as a psychologist, I had to learn to speak to large audiences and then with music when I played concerts in the time I was rocking with my band; Hive only came into my life because it was meant to be, this has been my best school and I have shown part of what I am as a musician and I have improved at all levels elements of my performance much more. I came from making rock videos for Instagram and here I finished polishing a lot of knowledge and techniques!!!
I know that here you will go far if you set your mind to it, in this family you have shown your artistic side, but I know there is much more to know about you, and I'm glad that this is your favorite musical community 🙌😀💛 (mine too, that's between us 😁) the human warmth that is in this family there is nowhere else like the support we all give each other!!!!
Sekani this performance was beautiful, your voice sounds like one of those Disney musicals, that's why I love it so much, please don't stop singing, dream big and don't miss opportunities that allow you to grow as an artist, because I predict a spectacular future for you 💞!!!!
Thank you for joining us with the theme that you had the honor of choosing, for us it is a blessing to have you here... thank you.... never forget that.... You Rockkk!!! 👍😉🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯
🙈🙈🙈 my smile is as wide as the sky at the moment🥰.
You're a psychologist😯, woahhhh, super cool!🥳🥳🥳. That's one of my secret aspirations 🤭🥰😂. @jaydr's words make more sense now 🥳😂. Wow. That must've been a huge lot for you. Way to go! 🥳
Whew! I'm sooo motivated to maximize the opportunities Hive has to offer 🥳.
No one will hear a word of it from me 🤭😂. The support and love really is priceless 💝.
I think this is part where there is a loud ovation and I smile with tears pouring down my face (tears of joy of course 😂😂🤣.
These words mean a lot to me and I'll be sure to remember them next time I want to give up 😌. I might even frame them🤭🥰. Thank you for the belief 😌, I appreciate it more than I can express 😊❤❤❤❤.
YOU rock 🥳🥳😁😂❤
I didnt say anything ooo
Hehe..
Sekani.. you are a real star.. and all @fernanblog said is true. I kinda gravitated to that when I saw you to.. and I just wish .. I wish..
😂😂😂 beht why Doc?
Thank youuu🙈🥰
Right she is...she is very cool and Bro how cool you are with her, how nice of you to say these things to her 💖 I know she values them coming from you Ouuuu yeahhh 🙌😀💛!!!!!
Keep pulling your strings Sir.. lol
How nice what you say, if the case of demotivation should come, which is normal in life at certain times, please remember these words, it will be an honor that they can give you some energy to continue!!!!
And heyyy true I had not told you that I was a psychologist hahaha that was left in the air; @jaydr knows it from the beginning, I have 16 years practicing psychology, and you know, now that you say it, you have something special that makes you can be a psychologist in the future, if you like this profession, then, study it, something tells me that you will be very good at it, you have qualities that are very much related to the profile of a psychologist, it would be amazing if you decide to study it at some point, if you do I would like to know in due course do you think so?
You are great and I will reinforce that every time I visit you, never forget that.... You Rockkk!!! 👍😉🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯
Woahhh😳, 16 years! That's a ton of experience. I'm sure you have a lot of interesting stories to tell 😂. I'll be sure to follow your blog closely so I won't miss out on any.
Yes, absolutely. I'd love to. Perhaps when I finish the degree I'm presently running, I'll work on it.
Thank youu 🙈🥰🥰
