This is not going to be another post on philosophical ideals or psychological babble, it’s going to be something that’s been said a million times but somehow still seems to surpass that somewhat significant piece of gray matter between people’s skulls. As much as I hate to judge or generalize, I’ve begun to learn there are two kinds of people in this world, the ones who get it done, and the ones who sit back and watch. Times are gone when hard work was a inherent feature of men, and now effort seems to have become a commodity present in a select few. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it damn sure wasn’t built by people sitting on their asses and saying someone else would do it either. If there’s one thing that seriously pisses me off, it’s the fact that lazy people are more willing to make excuses and point fingers instead of admitting that they simply don’t want to do it. “I can’t” simply translates to “I’m not willing to put forth the effort”, and I’m not talking about flying but for god’s sake completing a spreadsheet by 5am doesn’t exactly require black magic. Honestly, if you only live once why not at least try to make worth of it, instead of living a life of mediocrity and unfulfilled desires? If it’s been done before then you can be damn sure you can do it to, and if it hasn’t been done before then it’ll just take a bit longer. People seem to think that if some “expert” hasn’t achieved it yet then there’s no way they can do it, but forget that we all have different minds, different ways of approaching the same problem, and just because two people have the same information doesn’t mean they’ll come to the same conclusion. Go out and find a cure for the common cold, find life in the cosmos, and discover the best cure for a hangover (NOT coffee). This world is yours for the taking, as long as you can honestly believe it is.

Go Do It.
