Many people habitually use "bad mood" as an excuse for avoiding meaningful work. When in a good mood, they go traveling, shopping, or indulge in leisure; when in a bad mood, they drink alone, binge on games, or sleep excessively. Regardless of their emotional state, the outcome remains the same: Real work is neglected, and time is wasted.
Another common excuse is a "lack of interest." So-called interest is often limited to eating, drinking, and entertainment. However, without achievement, how can one truly enjoy life? Without financial stability, how can one afford a life of leisure? True interest should be directed toward creation and struggle: Are you willing to commit to work, endure the crowding of public transport, and stick to your schedule? When your family urgently needs a large sum of money and you cannot provide it, do you still feel indifferent? When you are heavily in debt, can you still feel at ease? Do those who sell rat poison have a genuine "interest" in the poison itself? Clearly, they are interested in the underlying profit and survival.
The most regrettable mindset is the attitude of "let me think about it some more." You hesitate: doing it might lead to failure, but not doing it leaves you unsatisfied. You think, "Since my job seems endless, I might as well start tomorrow." Then you reconsider, "Money isn't easy to earn, so maybe I should give it up." Just then, you decide you can't miss this opportunity, but it's already dark, so you postpone it to the next day. The following day, the same cycle repeats. In this constant hesitation and indecision, valuable time is squandered, resulting in no progress. This decision paralysis is the greatest obstacle preventing us from moving forward.
