Thank you Somali :), True true, there is a lot more beauty to action than mere thoughts. I am usually quite lost when people praise ideas and ideas alone. There is so much more to making an idea work and sometimes that becomes a much bigger deal than the idea alone..

He he he :D .. There is a lot of thoguht and philosophy in immediate action and I guess Rene knows that very very well :)

It’s always a great feeling to talk to a risk taker Tara, they really know the truth and that aspect in life as to how we respond to pressure and it teaches us a lot more than we can coin in words here. Somehow somewhere I realize that people want to see life as a predictable scenario. I don’t disagree with that completely but part of the fun is just going out there and defying our limits cos we have that internal ability and we badly want something and are ready to go out there and do it.
I think a lot of factors define us and we all have those internal and external challenges of our own. The way we act on them to make that difference makes the cut..

Thank you Maniparna. True, true, we have nothing to show for others and most of all ourselves if we don’t act on our thoughts. We can’t live vicariously or even theoretically just to make ourselves feel better. THat really doesn’t matter, we got to get out there and make those changes or else nothing really matters, does it?!

And people have told me that it is possible in my case because nobody is financially dependent on me and that I am completely responsibility free, to an extent I felt it’s true. But then I look up to my brother, who saved money from his IT job only to materialise his dream of becoming a wedding and new born photographer. I guess there are so many who are financially dependent on him… but he made it so good and so I completely agree with the quote you chose and with Rene too :) Thanks Vinay…

Procrastination! A common cause of failure despite having a good mind :)

Having faculties is not enough, unless put to proper use – that applies to thoughts and intellectual abilities as well. Thanks for sharing.
