CHAPTER　TEN

Still　Want　More？　Here　are　Some　To　Do's

Many　people　may　not　be　satisfied　with　my　ten　steps。　They　see　them　more　as　philosophies　than　actions。　I　think　understanding　the　philosophy　is　just　as　important　as　the　action。　There　are　many　people　who　want　to　do；　instead　of　think；　and　then　there　are　people　who　think　but　do　not　do。　I　would　say　that　I　am　both。　I　love　new　ideas　and　I　love　action。
