The expression the world is my oyster (or the world is your oyster, his oyster etc) means that there are unlimited opportunities to choose from and you can have anything you want, and you can achieve anything you want to.
Examples of use:
1. When you are young, you think the world is your oyster and anything is possible.
2. He has excellent qualifications, good health, money in the bank and a supportive family – the world is his oyster.
3. When you get your inheritance the world will be your oyster!
4. I passed my exams! The world is my oyster!
