I will prepare, and someday, my time will come.
In any business, profession or occupation in life, there comes a time when we're called on to deliver. Even though you can easily fake it for a while and get by, pretending you're being honest with it all, eventually, you will be measured by your deeds, not by your words. And it could get pretty weird if you're more of a talker than a doer.
Sure, it appears you may be able to drift through by not doing more than what is required of ya, and it's working. Who knows? you might have been limiting yourself for oh so long. You never will find out what could have happened should you have given it a bit more. The greatest opportunities always go to the people who have an affinity for hard work. No those who're allergic to it!
Do your stuff, diligently!
