There are people all over the world who steal, sell drugs and even commit murder to earn a living. These people carry on their activities with no shame whatsoever. They don't hesitate and they aren't afraid.

If you have a plan that is not illegal, then you should pursue it with all your physical and mental energy. This is the adoption of the NO CRIME RULE.

You should train yourself to be embarrassed, apprehensive about and unwilling to participate in anything that is illegal. If however you are involved in something which is legal and positive, then you should pursue it as if your life depended on it. There is no time to delay the creation of something positive.

Regardless of what your plans are, you can embark upon them now.

If you intend to open a bakery, you may not have the finance to open up your first location, but you can start baking at home to build a reputation.

If you intend to enter the fashion business as a designer, you may not have the finance to create a full line, but you can start by learning to sew and reading up on designing clothes.

Every empire started through someone's small steps, so start making your small steps now. Whoever wants to enter the real estate market; you're forgiven if you don't have the finance to purchase your first property for repair. You're not forgiven if your research on the topic has not started.

The aspiring fashion designer who has not learnt to sew is not forgiven, neither is the baker who has not started baking at home or catering small events. The student who does not have the finance for College/ University is forgiven, but if you have not applied for any scholarships, you are not forgiven.

Even at school and work, students and workers pretend to neglect studying for exams or preparing for presentations like that's shameful conduct. Remember the No Crime Rule?

What's the point of staying up till 2:00 a.m. preparing for something and then saying you went to bed at 8:00 p.m.? As long as what you're doing is positive, do it actively with no shame or hesitation. Get on with it!

Nobody owes you anything except *insert your name here*. You owe it to yourself to pursue your dreams so go ahead, and remember the No Crime Rule. If it's legal and positive, then pursue it with your all.
