just DO IT.

As my mom always said, "if you do not work as hard as everyone else but expect the same results, you're a thief," and when I didn't listen to her, she would also say "growing up, thieves never listened to the people who cared about them either." In that sense, maturity is gained similarly through this fashion; thinking that you have grown up just because you are getting older doesn't mean anything. It is the opportunites given in time and your actions on those opportunities. Otherwise, you're just the same.

So step up to the plate of opportunity with the bat of decision, face the pitch of reality, and smack it away. I feel sympathy for those that shun themselves from reality. Pity- that's how I would best describe it.
