The chinese word for crisis is made up of two characters, wei1+ji1.
Now, wei1 means danger, and ji1 does mean opportunity, but in chinese that does not necessarily have positive connotations, it simply means there is a chance that something may occur. It could be better translated as occassion.
ji1hui4 is the TRUE word for opportunity, and it could be translated literally as:
ji1=opportunity(occasion) + hui4=can/to be possible/to meet ==>an opportunity or occasion to meet
to it as not as cut and dried as many motivational speakers would make it out to be.
