The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer!

Hello Paul - I appreciate you helped me remember how I recognized Nolan Bushnell by including the Atari reference along with your attribution of the quote to him.

Umm, if I were sitting there taking in that scene I would not be getting off my butt, haha.  Well, maybe if it started pouring down rain.

Good morning again, Paul. As Ernest Hemingway said "never confuse movement with action." So for sure, get off your butt and act... don't just move.

Hi Paul - the hardest part is just getting started.  After that things get a little easier.

Good Afternoon Paul and I like this one and the weather picture goes great with it.   Headed to P. T. soon.  They are doing a nerve test on my foot but not till Dec 27 is when they can get me in

The thing I like about that photo is that it shows the pathways for water to reach the sea.  We don't often see that.

Absolutely! Nothing gets done until you get off your duff, Paul!

Love the picture too. Like Brian England, I'm not sure how much I would get done being in that scene!

Hi Paul:

Those are certainly wise, and true, words.

But as others said, I think I would just sit there for a little bit and admire that scene.

Dear Paul,

Better to get it over with and jump in. If you hesitate too long, someone else will and you will forever regret the action not taken.
