I'm like a lot of people, I talk a lot about what would be the best way to do things. I create these wonderful concepts and ideas. I make promises. I make excuses.
...and then...
I'm like a lot of people, I talk a lot about what would be the best way to do things. I create these wonderful concepts and ideas. I make promises. I makes excuses.
...and then...
I do it again and again and again.
And Never actually DO anything
It's about Action. Concepts, ideas, promises, excuses, words, wisdom, whatever... they're all empty air.
Do you want to know the big secret? The reason why the person that's ridiculously unqualified is your boss? Why the person that's illiterate has a booming business? Why your stupid, ugly, cruel friend has a girlfriend and you don't?
Action.
They did something. You talked about things. It really doesn't matter how qualified you are. People don't want people that can figure out stuff to do. People want people that DO stuff.
At some point in time as a person, you have to realize that there's a lot of really smart people. There's an endless supply of people willing to come up with ideas all day and let someone else do the work.
The way you make your way in this world is through action. Your actions are what matter. The hours you put in equal the returns you get.

- I'm a long time fan of your posts and site and I have to say, the information you provide really has helped me grow as a tank. Aside from all the tips, I think the biggest thing you provide that's so invaluable is your ethos behind all those tips. Talk about a swift kick in the can to get you motivated. = )

This has inspired me to take action and ask the girl at the gym out who talks about football with me. Details to come.Posted 09-14-2009 at 11:34 AM by Khue - That's the wonderful thing about action -- it makes a difference in every aspect of your life, work or pleasure, or love.
I'm a big supporter of Veneretio's philosophies and this is definitely a wonderful entry to add to his collection. Such a universal truth, thanks for bringing it to light.
I recently underwent supervisory training in preparation for a future promotion. One thing I was told about interviewing candidates was to find out if they can make a snap decision, one with little time to think. It was said if they can't make a decision, right or wrong being irrelevant, then don't hire them -- it would save me trouble in the long run (no babysitting).Posted 09-15-2009 at 04:45 PM by Arideni
