Sometimes I think people make the worst decisions in their lives.. some people tend to just make bad or terrible ones... and some, just sit on the fence hoping that someone else will make a decision for them. I think I'm the latter... I'm afraid to admit it.. but I think I am. I try not to be... and sometimes I succeed. Taking that risk in my own hands. I make mistakes... I learn from them.. at least I try to.. and hopefully that make me a better person. To point is to try.
A coupe of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today, he said. This is the man who discovered electricity. You thin more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it had a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what is you're wrong? What id you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early birth catches the worm. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our parents and 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 tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
