Too often I see people start and drop things. Start and drop. Start and drop. And then they lament as to why nothing is happening. Nobody is reading their books. Nobody is commenting on their news. Nobody is paying attention to them. So they get upset and drop another thing they just started, and start something else, and then the same story repeats. There was a time when I tried helping those people by gently coaxing them to NOT drop the current thing they were doing but to continue even when it seemed they were screaming into vacuum. I got my head bitten off a couple times, and the rest of the times I was being gently pushed away. "No, you don't understand. It won't work for me because..." You can insert any excuse here. It doesn't really matter what it is. The excuse is moot. 

Now, what THINGS exactly am I talking about?
