Summary

This quote suggests that the most time wasted is the time spent procrastinating or not taking action. Often, individuals may find themselves postponing tasks or projects due to a fear of failure, lack of motivation, or uncertainty about where to begin. However, this quote emphasizes the importance of overcoming the inertia and simply getting started. By taking that initial step, one can make progress, learn valuable lessons, and potentially accomplish much more than by passively allowing time to slip away without any forward movement.

When I was in college, I was in the theater department, which for anyone who has been involved in any kind of theater program, you know that it's really wacky and tight-knit, a real family. Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious, but most of the time really goofy and funny.

There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there. The losses we get from personnel mines we consider only equal to those we would have gotten from machine guns and artillery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with strong bodies of troops instead of with mine fields. The attacking infantry does not set off the vehicular mines, so after they have penetrated to the far side of the field they form a bridgehead, after which the engineers come up and dig out channels through which our vehicles can go.
