In Turkish business culture, 'fırsat kollamak' is seen as a sign of a 'kurnaz' (shrewd) and successful merchant. It is not just about greed, but about survival in a volatile market. Children are often taught to 'fırsat kollamak' when asking for something from their parents, especially if the parents are busy or tired. Commentators use this phrase constantly to describe a team that is playing defensively but waiting for a single counter-attack. Many folk tales involve a hero who must 'fırsat kolla' to defeat a giant or a dragon, emphasizing that brains and timing beat brawn.
