Excuses aplenty

Some people have 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 annoying those that deserve annoying. It contains a truth; people have unfair advantages but some of those advantages were earned.

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