Excuses Don’t Belong on the Basketball Court
Excuses are for mediocre players. Forget them. There are thousands of excuses available to all losers. To have a good excuse is to have what every other loser in the history of the world has had.
Don’t make the ridiculous mistake of thinking that your particular brand of excuse is somehow more valid than the last 20 million that have been uttered. You can hope your mother will believe you and maybe your girlfriend or boyfriend—or at least they may sympathize and keep their mouths shut if they don’t, but everyone else knows an excuse when they hear it.
Your particular excuse is just as stupid as everyone else’s. There. Now you know it. Now you are free to accomplish things, and to work, and to concentrate.
Forget about excuses. They are enormous wastes of time and words.
A successful person is not
one who has found the right set of
circumstances,
but rather, one who has developed the right set of
attitudes.
—Dick DeVenzio
