“Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.”
Samuel Johnson

Samuel Johnson (1709– 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was a British author who made lasting contributions to English Literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. He has been described as “arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history” by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies.

Dr Johnson reminds of the need to avoid procrastination and to be wary of how sometimes a desire to do things perfectly can prevent us from simply getting on with things.

Life is actually quite short when you start thinking about all of the things you’d probably like to do during your lifetime if you had the chance.

Tony’s viewpoint: “I’ve always found that if you think about something that you’d like to do, or that needs to be done, if you write it down as a goal or a task to be performed, along with a deadline for achieving it, then remind yourself of it regularly, there is a far greater chance that you will accomplish it.

I always have long lists of ‘Things to Do’, but by listing them, I usually do work my way through them, like my goal of flying a Tiger Moth bi-plane.”

Idea: Find an hour to sit down quietly and write down all of the things you’d like to do, the places you’d like to visit, the people you’d like to meet.
