It just seems that when it comes to outlook on life, there are two kinds of people.

The first kind assesses the situation and studies the various possibilities and comes up with a plan to accomplish their goal. It may be a long, hard slog, but they find a way to accomplish it.

The second kind throws up their hands in defeat and helplessness and blames everything on someone else. Then they wait for someone else to solve their problem for them... which is usually through the expenditure of someone else's money.

Some folks consistently make things happen. Others consistently let things happen.
