Laziness stands between you and success.
As completely obvious as this sounds, it actually retains great context in my life. My buddy and I at work often talk about ideas and inventions that could come to be. We are always trying to think of the next ebay, milliondollarhomepage.com/ or even facebook for that matter. We always come up with a grand scheme that if fully implemented would catch on like wild fire. The question is . . . what is standing in our way? He casually told me that the hardest part of inventing something is actually having the ambition to pursue it. When you get off of work and there's nothing urgent in queue that is the pivotal point where heros are made or die. You can flip on that TV or you can resume working on your next big idea.
God never promised a long life, so what are we going to do with the time that we have? In my fraternity I ran across a parable comparing our lives to a bank account. We are allotted a certain amount of money each day. When that days is over the money is gone and so is our opportunity to make the most of that day.
Carpe Diem
