Later doesn't always come...

Advice Shaq's mother gave him:
"There's no opportunity like now."

Shaq told his mom one time, "I can't do that right now. Maybe later." Then his mother said to him--"Later doesn't always come to everybody."

Work hard now. Don't wait. If you're lazy, or you sit back and don't want to excel, you'll get nothing. If you work hard enough, you'll be given what you deserve.
