  1. You answered your own question.Quit wastimg time on the internet.Start thinking of ways to kiss your professors *******.


  2. The Chinese put it this way:

    Thousand miles' journey

    Begins foot down.

    This often gets translated as "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

    So, the difference between talking about taking a trip--"Actually leaving turned out to be unexpectedly difficult,"--and doing it is the first step, followed by the second step, followed by the third...

    I was a kid who daydreamed a lot. If I spent as much time studying as I spent on the swing in the backyard daydreaming, I would have been dangerous. I continued to daydream while attending a private college on a scholarship (a thing I often daydreamed about in high school).

    A few years after I graduated, I started talking about moving to Taiwan. When I started to give things away because I couldn't take them with me, people started to realize I was serious. I lived in Taiwan for two years. And then I got a fellowship to go to graduate school in Hawaii. And after I got that degree, I went to work for a major newspaper. I'll never forget working there on 9/11/01!

    Then when I came to realize I wanted more out of life than money and prestige, I became a schoolteacher and taught minority kids from families that didn't have a lot of money. And I hope they daydream like I used to daydream! I've been known to do things like show them a video of people going to college, or a video about music helping to overthrow apartheid in South Africa, just to give their daydreams a little bit of inspiration.

    But I was pretty frustrated with many of the systemic issues in education. At first, I just complained about them, but now I have the opportunity to work towards making things, as the Obamas say, the way they should be. I take that opportunity, and I work hard with it. At the end of the day, I'm tired, but it's a very good kind of tired. It's the kind of tired where you can honestly say, "I worked hard today, but I made a difference."

  3. No.

    Unfortunately, day dreamers practice how NOT to do things habitually. It takes practice at doing EVERYTHING and ANYTHING, to get anywhere in this life.

    My advice: If you're worried about wasting your life, put yourself in a environment that requires you to act constantly. I myself joined the Marine Corps. Today, I have little trouble getting up and doing what is necessary to better myself.

    But there are many organizations for which this is true. Force yourself to join one, and your life will be filled with satisfaction.  

  4. doing and saying is quite relative. for example, your dreams, when you want to achieve your dreams the more effective way to do it is to tell it to someone (accdg to experts), to tell someone ypur plans on getting there so you could have some sort of verbal agreement and human pandora's box.

    day dreamers achieve something. what's wrong with day dreaming, what's wrong with sitting down every once in a while when the situation asks for it and somehow realize your dream? i couldnt see anything wrong with that. what's wrong is when it becomes a friend of laziness, that's when day dreamers dont achieve anything.
