As always the respect of a manner to do a thing is productive and in a large possibility it rewards back greatly. Without specific goals, strong will and actual measures, it is not easy to achieve something as we wanted. From management of a company to petty domestic chores, a well planned man can be more likely to live a comfortable life though hard work is unavoidable. No sweat, no sweet.
Once the decision is made, then it is the time to act out. Many guys are in the stagnation of imagination and dwarf themselves in the action. Being with such kind of guys too long is a bad idea, we can gain nothing but enormous negative thoughts to drag us into the mess, we may be no longer getting back again.
Self realization is probably tough sometimes, but never mind, we can resort to those who specialize in their fields. We learn from them and get inspired which is an effective path to change our conditions. Feeling of no guilt, only piety and thankfulness to a better environment we strive for.
