There are many who find a good alibi

Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself

When driving one day, he pulled up to two women from his neighborhood to say hello.

"One of them looked down and says, 'Now THAT is a chick magnet there.' So, made my day, you know," he said.

There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life.
