I Didn't Have Enough Time


"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work."

Pearl S. Buck

Ms. Buck is telling us we don't have the luxury of waiting until the moment is "right", or any other time related expression/excuse as to why we didn't accomplish our goals.

To quote Larry the Cable Guy, "Get 'er done!"


Do you?

    I realize you need to make thoughtful decisions but the problem for most is not acting soon enough.

  3. How do you balance this with "haste makes waste"?

    "Act now, think later" seems like a recipe for disaster to me.

  4. So, as is generally true, moderation is the key, in this case, judicious use of . . . moderation.

    Carefully plan before taking action but not to the point of failing to act.
