 The Excuse Peddlers
Have you noticed that we have an endless capacity for producing excuses? Some we believe in,
and will fight for, others we know are just excuses. After a while using excuses can become our
way of life.

Here are some of our favorites.

Excuse 1. It will take too long

We live in an age of instant gratification. Everything has to be now. There are some things that just
take longer. When Dennis Curyer (the author of 7 Ways to Live Life to the Mac) decided to go to
university at age thirty-six, he did not like the idea of how long it would take him to get a degree.
He supposed he was being reminded of how old he would be by the time he finished. He had to
remind himself that he would get older, with or without a degree. So he chose to be older with a
degree.

We must learn that it is rare to sow and reap in the same season. Time is required for all things.
We may say we do not have the time and yet we always find time for the things we really want to
do. Now is the time to act, it is neither too early nor too late.

To build a successful business takes time to put in a strong foundation. You cannot build from the
top down. As a young insurance salesperson Dennis Curyer could not work out how all the older
guys got all the business while he was struggling to make a sale. Some twenty-five years later he
was one of the older guys and he was making all the sales while the younger guys were finding it
difficult.

It takes years to develop any successful business. It is possible but unlikely that you will skyrocket
to the top in an instant. If you see someone standing on Mount Everest one thing is for sure, they
did not fall there, it was a long, hard climb to the top.

It took Edmund Hillary seven weeks to climb from the base camp to the top and only three days to
come back down. There has to be a message in this. Even the gifted have to work hard. That is
why Zig Zigglar once said, “There is plenty of room at the top”. Time is the price to be paid for
achieving anything of substance.

In 1828, Noah Webster published “An American Dictionary of the English Language” in order to
research the origins of his own nation’s tongue. He learned twenty-six languages, including Anglo-
Saxon and Sanskrit. This dictionary contained seventy thousand entries and took Webster thirty-six
years to compile.

Edward Gibbon worked twenty years on his authoritative book “Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire”.

Goethe’s most complex and profound work “Faust” was written over sixty years,  Goethe was
eighty when he completed this work.

George Bancroft spent twenty-six years of his life writing his monumental work ‘History of the
United States’. Upon completion, it became a benchmark for American history and has been
translated into a number of languages. His pen has created a monument to his ability to endure
and finish.

When an author told the poet Wordsworth she had spent six hours on a poem he replied, “I would
have spent six weeks.”

Excuse 2. What will people think?

If you allow your actions to be determined by what others may say or think, you will never do what
you want to in life.

Aesop in one of his fables tells the story of the man, the boy, and the donkey. A man and his son
were going with their donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman
passed them and said: “You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?” So the man put the boy
on the donkey and they went on their way. Soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said:
“See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides”. So the man ordered his boy to get
off, and got on himself. But they had not gone far when they passed two women, one of whom
said to the other: “Shame on that lazy man to let his poor little son trudge along”. So he lifted his
boy up on the donkey with him.

Coming to the town, the people began to jeer and point at them. The man stopped and asked
what they were scoffing at. The men said: ”Are not you ashamed of yourself for overloading that
poor donkey with you and your son?”  The man and boy got off and decided to solve the problem
by cutting down a pole, and tying the donkey’s feet to it. They then raised the pole and the donkey
to their shoulders.

They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the
donkey, getting one of his feet loose, caused the boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle
the donkey fell over the bridge, and drowned.

You will never please everybody so do not worry about what other people think, no matter how
well meaning they may be. Many will try to talk you out of doing those things that you want to
achieve. We call them ‘The Dream Busters’. Mark Twain said of them: “Keep away from people who
try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always  do that, but the really great make you feel that
you, too, can become great.”

There was a fisherman who never put a lid on his basket of lobsters. When asked was he not
afraid of them climbing over the edge and getting away, he said, “Heck no, the moment one makes
a bid for freedom all of the others drag him back in”.

The lobsters in our life are in the form of parents, children, relatives, friends, work associates, those
in authority, etc., who will attempt to discourage you from your ambitions. In most cases they are
well meaning and have your interest at heart. They do not want you to fail, to be disappointed, and
to lose what you have. If you are swayed by the way they see life you will finish back in the basket
with them.

Christopher Columbus was thought of as mad, but he ignored all as he lived his dream and sailed
to discover the new world.

Galileo, one the world’s greatest astronomers, was persecuted for what he believed. He was
labelled a heretic and his writings were banned, but he  continued to write until he went blind.

PREFACE of 7 Ways to Live Life to the Max

This book has been written to empower people to live with excitement and energy.  Its principles
are based on ancient and modern wisdom from a variety of sources.

The author has had a difficult, but interesting and exciting life. He shares his personal experiences
with his readers in the hope that whatever years they have left, it will be the best years of their
life. It is about living to the fullest, not just watching life go by as a spectator or living through the
experience of someone else. It was Helen Keller who said, “Life is either a daring adventure or
nothing.”

Life is a banquet table. Upon it we find every delicacy imaginable. The lamb, beef, venison, duck,
chicken, turkey and pheasant have been cooked to perfection in sauces that tempt the taste buds
(unless you are a vegetarian). A cornucopia of vegetables, pumpkin, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower,
and broccoli are to be found in a state of perfection. Exotic seasonings, poppy, wild marjoram,
thyme, capers, and ginger enhance the flavor of the dishes. Fruits of every kind, the common and
the uncommon, even the exotic quince, currant, mango, durian and pomegranate grace the table
for taste and decoration. For the wine drinkers, there are reds and whites of every kind and
vintage that would make Bacchus jealous.

We have all been summoned to attend the banquet of life. As special guests we arrive in
anticipation and yet, instead of sitting on the gold embossed chairs provided for our comfort, we
elect to sit on the floor and eat the crumbs that fall from the banquet table. Too many of us, for far
too long, have sat on the floor eating the crumbs that fall. This book is about getting up off the
floor and feasting at the banquet table before it is too late. To waste a day would be to waste our
inheritance.

The final words of this introduction are left to Henry David Thoreau, who said,
“Oh God! To reach the point of death only to realize you have never lived.”
