RESULTS ARE NOT PRODUCED BY EXCUSES 

Jones Singini 

It's easy to look for a reason why something wasn't done. 

It is even easier to postpone today's assignments to a distant future. 

Many find solace in giving explanations on why the answer turned out to be wrong. 

Obviously the student says the teacher didn't teach us. 

The farmer blames the bad weather.

The entrepreneur shifts the blame on the economy. 

Everyone is creating an excuse in one way or the other.

Interestingly in the same class where the student blames the teacher for their failure, another comes out with flying colors.

Where one farmer shifts the blame on the weather, another has a bumper harvest.

At the end of it all, an excuse is not the result. 

It doesn't matter how valid an explanation one might bring across, the intended solution is still missing from the picture. 

Notwithstanding the genuine and bigger than life challenges, one ought to fight on to produce what is expected. 

Such is the order of life instead of spending days without number to convince others of why you failed. 

Through the habit of making excuses, you are destroying your creative powers to generate the ideal solutions.

Laziness is promoted by a deep rooted thinking that if things don't work out, l can always explain it anyway. 

In short, an excuse is a distraction that prevents you from achieving a task or an ultimate goal. 

It gives relief in the short run but carries with it haunting experiences of mediocrity deep into the future.

I read about Tim Ferris and I like what he said and I quote: “The stars will never align, and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you."

Do what you can 

Where you are 

With what you have. 

Push not to a day after tomorrow what you were supposed to do a day before yesterday.

Remember any excuse is not the result.
