window of opportunities. Most of the time, we don’t act, ending with regret and
sorrow. Somehow, while being the very first person responsible for this course of non

happens when our task is way too big. Its so huge and so far from our present, that it
can easily been delayed. The truth (at least for me) is, if we don’t start some day we
