We are too soon old, and too late smart.
Patience is considered a virtue by most. That being said, I must ask: what are we waiting for? I hear people discuss what they will do and know when they are older, talk about getting serious later in life, state that they'll take better care of themselves when they're old, quit an awful job in the fall. But that's a silly mistake to make because we cannot assume we will be around at that time, and if we are, we may regret not learning, knowing, growing, or risk taking sooner. I don't want to eventually be financially independent, in great health, have a strong business, etc. I am impatient for success and happiness.
By committing myself to 90 minutes of learning time each day, I will grow quickly. I want to be quick to start, dive in, and then be patient: implementing what I've learned and help it all grow. I refuse to be a New Year's resolution type of person.
"Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority... Instead of a to-do list, you need a success list- a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results." -Gary Keller
