So what is the ability to take action and not taking action the same as?

Imagine yourself sitting with friends at a restaurant. Suddenly a stranger at another table falls to the floor, the wife shrieks "he's having a heart attack."

Now you've read books over the years that have described situations where someone smashed an aspirin in someone's cheek and saved their life, or you've seen movies where the EMT's do CPR--perhaps you've even read about and trained for CPR--but nothing in those books or movies did anything to prepare you for this event.

Now imagine there is a table full of doctors who watch the whole thing go down and do nothing (pretend it's possible) What do you think about that? There we have a table full of highly educated (8+ years of college each!), well read, thoroughly trained doctors who do nothing.

Should they read more books? Should you? Should they search for inspiring authors and role models? Should you? Should everyone in the room seek out mentors to give them step-by-step instructions to save this man's life?

Should allll this thought go into what to do? OR

Should someone jump up and take action? Call 911, try to resuscitate him if necessary, run and find an AED?

This is the difference between the people out there who get up and just figure it out, take action, and get the ice cream. They are not bystanders. They are not waiting for an author to guide them to wealth, they are putting themselves in situations that require decisiveness, and living with those decisions.

All the reading and postulating and analyzing is only worth it if it's applied to real life. Otherwise you're a doctor of information refusing to save your own life from the slow-lane.
