For Your Consideration – A Quote
By omb on Mar 11, 2009 in Conservatism
I read this quote and it immediately reminded me of a number of people I know. I’d like to see if anyone else sees this as pertinent as I do these days. Seems like people always have an excuse or someone to blame for their not doing anything with their lives.
“There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life.” –Eric Hoffer
All too often true.

I am writing up my to do list for tomorrow right now. I am shamed!
