While you whine about how it can’t be done, someone else is already doing it

The world is moving so fast these days that the one who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
–Harry Emerson Fosdick

This quote reminds me that why I like whiners and skeptics. While they reason and debate why something cannot be done and why they are better off not doing it, I get a head start by planning and strategizing how it can be done. The more they work to convince themselves that they can’t do it, the larger the perceived barrier to entry for them — and the lesser the competition for me, and I get the first-mover advantage!

Works great for me :)
