Oh, Lord! don't I know it's difficult! .. Don't I know that perhaps it's impossible! But it's the only way to do it. Therefore, I say, let's try to get it done. And everybody says, 'difficult, difficult, ' and nobody lifts a finger to try. And the only real difficulty is that everybody for one reason or another says that it's difficult. It's against human nature. Granted! Every decent thing is. It's socialism. Who cares? . H.G. Wells
About This Quote

That's the way I feel about it. I do not know what to do. It is strange that people expect me to know all the answers, but they are unwilling to try themselves. They want someone else to do everything for them.

That makes no sense. Not knowing how to do something does not mean that you will not be able to do it. If you want something done, then do it yourself or find someone who can help you with the problem.

We live in a country where every single thing is expensive and difficult to obtain, which sometimes makes us become frustrated and depressed, but it does not mean that we cannot accomplish anything at all. The more difficult the task, the more interesting it becomes.
