"Opportunity is missed by most people," the great innovator Thomas Edison said, "because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
Leave it to the inventor of the light bulb to ingenuously illuminate that dark corner of our collective character. The underlying contradiction is even less flattering. While we'll blow an extravagant sum of words discussing our desire for a better future, we tend to spend considerably less in the deeds department. In fact, we turn downright miserly in that section of life's store where the legal tender is hard action rather than hot air.
