Put aside procrastination and excuses for doing nothing at all.
There is a famous compound interest story about the Emperor of China who offered the inventor of the game of chess one wish. The
inventor replied that he wanted one grain of rice on square one of
the chessboard, two grains on the second square, four on the third
and so on through square sixty-four. The unsuspecting emperor
agreed to the seemingly humble request. Yet, two raised to the
sixty-fourth power is eighteen million trillion grains of rice,
more than all the rice in China! Do you think your actions might
only be a tiny drop in your bucket? Have you ever placed a bucket
under a dripping tap overnight?
