- Charles Dickens

About this Quote

This quote by Charles Dickens is a pointer to take action and not to be idle. It is a call to action, to not be content with just dreaming and wanting, however to take action and make those dreams a reality. It is a reminder that life is brief and that we must maximize it. It is a suggestion that we must not be content with just sitting around and letting life pass us by. We ought to be actively participating in life, taking risks, and pressing ourselves to reach our goals. We must be actively pursuing our dreams and not letting them escape. We need to be acting and not simply relaxing and letting life pass us by. We must be actively engaging in life and making the most of it. We need to be pressing ourselves to reach our objectives and not simply dreaming about them. We need to be taking dangers and not simply sitting around and letting life pass us by.
