Two blind men walk slowly down the street next to each other. Both hold out begging cups in their hands and have small signs around their necks. One of the blind men’s cups is continually filled and the other man’s cup was almost empty. Upon closer inspection, an observer will notice a slight but significant difference in the signs. One sign reads, “I am blind.” The other sign reads, “It is May and I am blind.“

Unless you translate thoughts into concrete steps for action, they’re pointless.
