I’m constantly in search for motivation because I’m lazy. For example, I know I should be lifting weights or doing core conditioning on the days I do not play tennis but I slack off all the time by just taking naps in the afternoon while no one is looking. My top opponents are all extremely fit and skilled. The pacifist in me sometimes thinks, If they beat me, it’s no big deal since it’s only tennis. This is exactly the attitude of losers.

Mr. Miyagi said it best when Daniel-san was undecided on whether to learn karate. He said, “Either you karate do “yes,” or karate do “no.” You karate do “guess so”, and get squished like grape.” There’s no point doing anything if we don’t give it our best. If we go half way, we’ll just end up being bitter about our failures and complain about other people’s successes.

I’ve noticed there’s a correlation in motivation levels between the offline world and the online world. If you tend to be a highly enthusiastic person offline, your online energy will show. You’ll probably post more often and have funnier, more uplifting types of posts.

If you tend to be lazy offline like me, then you will probably post a little less than you should. You can kind of hide your laziness by writing ahead so you’ve always got a post in the pipeline that reflects previous high energy. The problem is your laziness eventually catches up.

We thought we would just write some funny stuff, people would come and read it, and we’d spend maybe an hour a day working on our new little project. Boy, were we wrong.
