As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.- Andrew Carnegie
I find this statement to be so very true. Also partly the reason why I blog less.
I place less value on what I think I know.. unless I eventually put them into purposeful action.
Which makes me realise.. I might know too much and do too little.
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents. - Andrew Carnegie
It is true that unless the Lord build the house, our hard work will be in vain.
However.. it is worth noting too that even the Lord instructs us to be persistent in asking.
In other word, a great motivation is needed to keep us going.
I had a glimpse of a book written by the sister of our friend recently.
It was mainly a book about life lesson(s).
She is a good writer and I tend to enjoy reading her thoughts in her blog.
While it became evident quite instantly that it was a book written by and from a 20 something perspective, it was clear too that it was brimming with courage that a 30 or 40 something might have lost somewhere along the way.
She published a book. That is something!
How many of us who loves writing actually get to publish a book?
As we are about to end the first month of the year's second half, I just thought of reminding myself again..
2017 will not be marked by what I said I would do or achieve.
It will simply be marked by what I actually do.. and achieve.
Oh and btw.. is it just me or is it normal that as we grow older, we have less tolerance for jerks?
Just curious..
