a couple of hundred years ago, benjamin franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. "Never leave that till tomorrow," he said, "Which you can do today."
this is the man who discovered the electricity. you`d think more of us would listen to what he said.. i dont know why we put things off, but if i had to guess, i`d say it has a lot to do with fear. fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. sometimes the fear is just of making a decision. because what if you`re wrong?what if you`re making a mistake you cant undo?
- he who hesitates is lost. we cant pretend we havent been told. we`ve al heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day.
still, sometimes, we have to see for ourselves. we have to make our own mistakes, we have to learn our own lessons. we have to sweep todays possibility under tomorrows rug until we cant anymore.until we finally understand for ourselves what benjamin franklin meant, that knowing is better than wondering. that waking is better than sleeping,
and that even the biggest failure even the worst, most intractable mistake beats the h..(#/) out of never trying.
