The Perfect Moment Chapter 2

I would agree with the book that too many of us wait for the perfect moment to do something great with our lives. A specific point that stood out to me was the civil disobedience protest. When the judge asked if they had any prior arrests and the protesters answer Birmingham and Salem. The judge said not those they were good arrest. However, if we think back to the 60s those arrest were not considered good protest by some. Now we look back on them as being important to civil rights progress. We find excuses to not help at the food bank or give blood. From personally experience I know I have waited for the perfect moment. I always tell myself I going to do this or that and can't find the time to do it; because, it is on a weekend or it to early in the morning. We need to make time to volunteer at events we think are important. I was surprised that Dr. King got a C on his Philosophy test. I believe the author included this fact to prove his point that historical leaders are not these perfect people we believe them to be. They were regular people like us that, acted on their passion. They did not wait for the perfect moment; they made the perfect moment.
