    How to use "Pass up" in context?

    When I was younger, I would often say "pass up" when I was offered an opportunity. I would tell myself (and others) that I would only take a chance if it was a sure thing or if the opportunity was something that I was very passionate about. After spending some time thinking about it, I realized that the best opportunities are the ones that I don't think I can pass up. I now know that I should always take a chance and explore new opportunities because I never know what I'll find.
