Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy. It is not true that nice guys finish last.
Nice guys are winners before the game ever starts.
The sages do not consider that making no mistake is a blessing. They believe, rather, that the great virtue of a person lies in their ability to correct their mistakes and continually to make a new person of themselves. I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. The longer I live the more I am convinced that the one thing worth living for and dying for is the privilege of making someone more happy and more useful.
