roy-h-williams - Monday Morning Memo

Roy H. Williams is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling Wizard of Ads trilogy of business books. His Monday Morning Memos have been read by people worldwide since 1994 and he has never missed a Monday! He and his wife, Princess Pennie, are the founders of Wizard Academy, a 21-acre 501c3 school for entrepreneurs that overlooks the city of Austin, Texas from atop a plateau that rises 900 feet above the city. The school is administered by a 9-person independent board of directors.

“In this case we’re dealing with a Person whom fortune has gifted generously, but who has entirely failed to use their potential. Such People are bright and intelligent, but don’t apply themselves to their studies… This Venus induces a strange kind of laziness – lifetime opportunities are missed, because you overslept, because you didn’t feel like going, because you were late, because you were neglectful. It’s a tendency to be sybaritic, to live in a state of mild semiconsciousness, to fritter your life away on petty pleasures, to dislike effort and be devoid of any penchant for competition. Long mornings, unopened letters, things put off for later, abandoned projects. A dislike of any authority and a refusal to submit to it, going your own way in a taciturn, idle manner. You could say such people are of no use at all.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 227-228, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
