Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.

About This Quote

This quote has a lot of truth to it. Some people see things that are and ask, Why? How can I make this better? For example, some people see the homeless on the streets of their cities and are disgusted by them. They spend their time making donations to shelters but never stop to think about why homeless people are on the streets in the first place. Others see things that are wrong in their communities and spend time trying to change them, but they never stop to consider that change won't happen overnight. Some people know that they have no more time for working at a job that doesn't bring them satisfaction, so they decide to start working for themselves instead.
