Do you think the world does have everything, so that you do not need to produce more? Do you think you have contributed a lot to remain your human traces in this world? In addition, take while to think whether you have or have not contributed to this world, what have you contributed?
Everyday, I take not less than thirty minutes to think of what I have contributed to this world, and I have found out that I have contributed very little to even my own family and nearly nothing to the whole society, so that is not need to calculate my contribution to the world as the whole.
Contemplating about these issues, I have always been self-encouraged to write more and more, regarding to different areas of studies and, in general, to contribute good faiths to this existing world. I do not care whether other think in contrast to my stance, I, myself, think what I am doing is in good faith is more than enough.
If you think you have dramatically contributed to your self, your family, your society and your world, you are encouraged by me to do more, and if you think you have not contributed anything, it is time for you to act now. "Do not wait”, a phrase that I want you to start what you think beneficial to yourself and to others. Do even a minor thing that would bring benefit some day in the future.
Many have come to a complete halt, before they can start to do business, write a book, apply for a job or scholarship, propose a girl to get married, start reading a little book, express the differences, contribute an article to the website or even to enter on eatery. You need to act now, before everything becomes too late.
I have always of the opinions that in order to write a book, I have to collect countless information and be thoroughly knowledgeable about the area I want to write about. Of course, having thorough knowledge is right, but we do not need to be a real expert in the field, as we write, more ideas along the way while we are driving to work or school, talking to friends, listening to radio, reading morning presses, blamed by employer at workplace, more and more ideas and even pioneer ideas will be flown in. If I do not start right now, would I have chance to know my innate human potential, if I am to die tomorrow?

We, the commoners, always hesitate to "act now”, due to idle reasons such as; too hot, too cold, too hard, too scared, too high, too cheap or too expensive. These negative indulgences make the rich the educated catch our opportunities.
Always bear in mind that you have contributed very less to this world, because the Internet article you are reading, the lesson you learn in school, the keyboard, hardcopy, floppy disk, USB, book cover, intellectuals' quotes, toothpaste, college fees and even you underwear, are not your effort; you are just the one using them without understanding what they are and where they came and will be coming from. Will you be still a person whose mind in a complete standstill?
"Do not wait” wishes you, the readers, to act now, to deposit more of your human traces in this world, before you die tomorrow, who know!
