“The most profitless thing to manufacture is excuses.”
-- B. C. Forbes
This is a particular favorite of ours. One we often site to each other when one of us (sheepish grin) is showing a certain skill for creating a long list of excuses. So you see, though I agree with this quote, I do not exactly live by it. (As I am quite good at manufacturing excuses and am quite loathe to part with that skill.) However, it really is a profitless art. Many times I have talked myself out of an experience which would have been a great one filled with learning and much benefit. And, being a great procrastinator, I often exercise excuses much more than I ought to. However, as time goes on, and I realize the petty profit (if any) of my practice, I have come to a more determined attitude to complete things and carry on with a positive attitude in life. Put on my smile, take hold of my courage, and step forward into the rest of my unknown life. -- Kenzie
