    playing games, or worse, staring at the blank wall with no thoughts whatsoever to improve their lives.

  • They don’t know what to do next.
  • It’s perfectly fine to enjoy once in a while but time should be managed efficiently in order to succeed.
  • There should be a proper balance between work & pleasure.

7 – They Take the Easy Way Out

  • If there are two roads to choose from, they would choose the wider road with less rewards than the narrower road with much better rewards at the end.

  • They can start many such businesses but none is completed.
  • They can’t free themselves from the past by identifying and cleaning up their unfinished business.

14 – They Ignore the Present

  • They always ignore the present and think about a bright future.
  • Today is a result of all the Today’s that came before it.
  • A well lived present will naturally produce wonderful future.

  1. I realize that I have a lot of these qualities, but I’m not sure what to do about them. I’ve been trying for years to change myself bit by bit but it seems inevitable that I am who I am. I don’t want to be this way and I want a better life for myself. What do you suggest?
