"Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction."
-Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion,
17th Century
Action my friends, is key in this life.
If you plan on getting anywhere, you
have to take action. Somebody said,
"you can't lift a 4 ton bus by thinking
it up there."Thinking may help you
develop the equipment used to lift
that bus, but still it takes bulldogged
work and effort to lift that bus. You
have to take action if you're going to
be successful im telling you. So what
does that mean? It means checking
out books at the library, working on
that project that you've been
meaning to get your hands on, or
going back to school to finish what
you started a decade ago.
Action has the word "act" in it as
well as "ion." An act is a type of
organized movement. An ion is a
charged particle in physic and
chemistry. So organize yourself and
charge ahead and start doing what
you've planned and committed to
dong. Action will get you places.
Inaction will just place you...and
usually at the same place you've been
at, or worse. Take action and start
working toward the goal.
Go ahead, start doing what you've
said you'd do...it really pays off in the
end friend!
Chapter 8: Make A Checklist!
"10, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....Happy
New Year!"
-Nearly universally accepted truth in
english
Happy New Year! 2021 is here
(2014)! The countdown begins...In
life we have a
countdown....countdown to dinner
time, a newborn baby, wedding day,
graduation, etc. You see, what these
all have in common is that there's
intermediate goals to reach before
you get the end goal. In football, each
team has to advance the ball at least
10 yards or 30 feet to keep possession
of the rock, unless you're less than 10
yards away from the end zone. The
key to that is that you gotta make the
10 yards before you get the
touchdown...that's called making 1st
down. We have to start making 1st
down in our lives. Apply yourself and
you'll start making first down.
A checklist is a list of items that you
have when you want to reach a goal.
In short it's an abbreviated, abridged
planning sheet. When you accomplish
one of those goals on that paper,
that's called "hitting the mark," or
achieving a benchmark. You see
having a checklist comes in handy
when you want to do something. Go
to the grocery store without a
checklist and you might wind up with
boxed peppers and frozen bologna
nuggets - that's nuts! So, make a
checklist as you go to accomplish
something, it can help you achieve
what you set out to do. Go ahead, just
do it bud!
A checklist can help eae the burden
of getting something accomplished
