About This Quote
Why do we do so few when we can do so much? When asked this question, most people can give a list of things that they wish they did more of. It’s easy to have a list of things you regret not doing. But it’s harder to take action and actually do those things as opposed to complaining about them. In other words, as much as we would like to do more, the reality is that we rarely take action. In speaking about this quote, Charles Dickens said, "A man may dream of what he would be if he were rich enough, but he must first wake up and begin at the bottom."
