Lionize The Trivial

"There is No Substitute For Hard Work" Thomas A. Edison There is still a confusion, about whether this quote is more famous or the person who said it is more famous. Well, lets not get bogged down further by this confusion. When we read this quote about hard work, we are immediately convinced. But, our conviction lies in the direction of the quote.We hardly bother to think Normal (Yes, the one from Geometry) to the quote's direction. In today's Smart World, everything and everyone is getting Smart and Smarter day by day. So, we have conveniently replaced the Hard Work with Smart Work (or rather started to do so).

I considered myself an Anti-Opportunistic person, who never entered into anything good when it is proper time to enter. I used to blame myself and people around me for not letting me try new things. Even today, when I have started to write something (on a blog), it is giving me the same feeling of Anti-Opportunity.

Rather, this is probably the only motivation for me. It encourages me to think that 'Starting' is important. It is never right time or wrong time to start something new. Starting at some point of time is important. Regretting about not starting something on the 'so called' correct moment is actually preventing me from starting
