Getting an idea is not anything new.Talking about them is fine too. Everyone does that. Getting up and going to work on it, now that is what makes the difference. People do not name schools, hospitals, foundations and monuments after just great speech makers, they do that for great change makers. I discovered a while back that, there are two major types of pain in life. We experience by our actions and inactions. They are the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The former weighs ounces and the latter weighs tones. Since pain is basically inevitable, which would you rather have? That of discipline or regret?

Those who don't bother to talk to you or check up on you. Don't believe their excuses. For every time they spend unconcerned about you, they spend with those who actually mean something to them. Don't ask for an explanation. Actions speak louder than words anyway. Y...
