We have lots of excuses

Excuses aplenty

Some people have read and studied the book entitled “1001 reasons and excuses for not doing something”, others unwittingly seem to know it inside out. It provides plenty of ammunition to formulate a valid explanation for why things are delayed or not done. If they had used that time making a start instead of coming up with excuses, they would be halfway towards finishing.

“It is alright for you.” Is one of my favourite lines. It is great for winding people up. It also expresses how other people have unfair advantages. Alternatively, it says that I don’t want to make the effort that you have.

You can be positive with some pessimism; Disappointment is expected. Each failure is another avenue checked out. The proactive trier. Another way is to be negative and optimistic. Everything is done half-heartedly. One day someone will detect how valuable you are. They will raise your profile and give you that chance that you think you deserve. The fantasist.
