"A lobster
when left high and dry among the rocks,
has not instinct and energy enough
to work his way back to the sea,
but he waits for the sea to
to work his way back to the sea,
but he waits for the sea to
come to him.
If it does not come,
he remains where he is and DIES,
although the slightest effort
would enable him to reach the waves,
which are perhaps within
a yard of him.
The world is full of HUMAN LOBSTERS:
those stranded on the rocks of indecision
and procrastination,
who, instead of putting forth their energies
are waiting for some
grand billow of
good fortune to set them afloat."
Dr Orrison Swett MARDEN
