Time is always enough to launch a dream
This is a translation of an article from the 37signals blog.
“I want to start a business / become a cool programmer / create a terrific blog, but for this I don’t have enough time in days!”. Impudent lie. Time is always enough, just you illiterately dispose of them.
I'm tired of hearing the “no time” answer as a reason you can't be great. In fact, starting to do something does not require much time, but it requires the desire to do it to start badly. Most people simply do not want to do something bad enough and protect their ego, citing lack of time.
')
It is especially unpleasant to hear this excuse from students. “Oh, I have so many items! Oh, I have so many homework! I simply don’t have time to learn anything outside the school or institute. ”This approach is wrong!
As someone smart said, "never let learning interfere with education!" One of the most important skills you can learn is the ability to sacrifice at borders.
I got a lot of fours and triples and I'm proud of it, because I almost did not spend time on it. The time I could spend on reading my own course of study, the start of my new projects, the launch of my own business.
And I did it. During my training, I created Instiki, Rails, Basecamp and took the path of co-founder 37signals. Do you think I could do all this, at the same time get solid fives and have a lot of free time to play World of Warcraft? Not.
If you want to do something well enough, you will find time, regardless of other conditions. Don't let yourself get hooked on excuses. It’s too easy and, to be honest, nobody cares about it.
Only you are fully responsible for making your dreams come true.
