Don't dally...


There’s no better time to start thinking about doing something great than right now: some people delay, however, worrying that the time has to be just right. But then they think of all that needs to be done while waiting for that perfect moment: it takes a lot of time and effort before you can actually start. Once upon a time, I got the idea to create an automated applicant capture and tracking system: it was right after experiencing all the headaches of not having one during the opening of the Mirage. And even though it took another 8 years of brainstorming, networking, researching, planning, building, testing, and finally implementing a system that reflected that idea, according to my watch, I knew the time to do it was the day after the Mirage opened. Unfortunately, that was a time when computers and the he internet were mostly the things of hopes and far off dreams. Lots of people have good ideas about how to improve things – but without grit, it’s hard to get the courage and support to do them. Don’t wait another minute: if you’ve got a good idea, get started is today.

James William Buffett (born 1946); American singer, songwriter, musician, author, actor, and businessman.
