    • Opportunity and Action: Seize opportunities to improve your situation, don't delay and let others take advantage.
    • Action brings meaning and purpose to life: The world judges you by your actions, not your thoughts or feelings.
    • Active engagement prevents negativity: Being occupied with action leaves little time for self-pity and remorse.
    • Action is the key to achieving your goals: Patience is waiting for the fruits of your labor, but action is what makes good works possible.
    • Action reduces the burden of waiting: The time waiting for rewards seems shorter when you are busy working towards them.
    • Taking initiative versus being passive: Only you can make your plans a reality. Don't wait for things to happen, take charge.
    • Action demands courage: It is risky to take action, but waiting for things to fall into your lap is a sure path to failure.
    • Embrace action and overcome your doubts: Life is inherently uncertain, so laugh at your doubts and move forward.
    • Action leads to increased ability and leisure: The more you do, the more capable you become, which allows you to enjoy more leisure.
    • Being acted upon is a consequence of inaction: If you do not take action, others will act on you, potentially to your detriment.
