If you haven't heard of Sean Stephenson, you should have. Watch this link just to get a fraction of an idea of how enormous this man really is. He's done ten times as much as people twice as "big" as him. Watching him just speak to people was massively inspiring to me. The first thing that came to my mind was "If this guy can accomplish as much as he has in as little time, what's MY excuse?"
Certainly, we all have the capacity and the freedom to create as many excuses as we desire, some may be more "valid" than others. But in the end, so what? Is that really what you want your life to add up to; a series of excuses with nothing to show for it? Zoologically, that type of organism - the type that syphons off of life by consuming and taking without giving anything in return - is called a parasite. Harsh, maybe, but how many times do people like Sean Stephenson have to prove their existence and the capacity of the human being before we finally believe it? It seriously baffles me sometimes.
