Doing Something is Better Than Waiting for Nothing

Have you ever encountered or met someone who became rich in an instant because of waiting? Or perhaps a person who became successful without putting too much effort into everything they do? I guess no one and it sounds impossible, right?

For us to achieve something, we must put an effort and take immediate action to get positive results. Successful people, businessmen, and entrepreneurs like Elon Musk who is known as a co-founder of Paypal and Tesla as well as the founder of SpaceX, and Mark Zuckerberg who's known for being a co-founder and CEO of Facebook do something in their lives that change their entire future. They are now both one of the wealthiest people in the world. They will not achieve what they have now if they just keep on waiting for something to happen without certainty. Of course, they encountered a lot of problems and failures because that is part of risk but do you think that stops them from continuing? The answer is no, that just served as their inspiration to move forward and motivation to start again.

If you know the story of "Juan Tamad" or "Lazy John" in English translation, you will know what I'm trying to point out in this article. Juan is a character in the Philippines folklore that is well-known for being extremely lazy. Due to his laziness, even picking up ripe guava is too hard for him to do that's why he just lay underneath the guava tree, opens his mouth, and waits for it to fall. Remembering this story made me want to pinch Juan's ears until they turned bright red. The fruit is only one step away yet he still let his laziness eat his whole being.

So what's the lesson you can get from this? Well for me, if you want to achieve something then do something! Make it happen and don't wait for a long time thinking. Waiting for a perfect time is necessary but if we will just focus on this, we will miss a lot of opportunities.

A perfect example of this is a person who wants to earn passive income on this platform yet doesn't want to write an original piece because it's not his/her cup of tea. See that? If you want to grow on this platform, you must do something to be successful. Don't give a lot of excuses to yourself instead give a lot of reasons to pursue, thrive, and continue. Those users who have plenty of subscribers, upvotes, and views do their best already that's why they were able to fulfill their desires.
