Lesson Summary

Excuses make people feel comfortable while remaining stuck.

People often blame:

  • government
  • parents
  • economy
  • lack of money

But excuses rarely solve problems.

Main Points

1. Excuses Prevent Movement

According to David J. Schwartz, excuses are a “failure disease.”

2. Common Excuses

  • “I’m too young”
  • “I’m too old”
  • “I don’t have money”
  • “I’m not educated enough”

3. Action Builds Confidence

Confidence grows after action, not before action.

4. Fear Grows During Inaction

The longer people wait, the more fear grows.

Story Example

Chinedu wanted to learn graphic design.

For one year he kept saying:

“I don’t have a laptop.”

His friend borrowed computers at a café and practiced daily.

One year later:

  • one became a designer
  • one still had excuses

Class Reflection

  • What excuse do you use most?
  • What can you do despite your limitation?
