meditations on life

how can people achieve so many things in life?

i just read about a person!

he was influenced by Chinese culture, so he learnt Mandarin, and then moved to China to talk to people and learn about the culture, and meeting girls, and then got married and moved back to Israel.

he then started learning about hinduism and India, and learned more about the language.

he got interested in the Shenzhen area and wrote articles about them.

now he is reading and learning about Saudi Arabia and its culture and language.

he can speak 5-6 languages fluently.

how? how is it that some people are lifelong learners and move from A to B to C to D to E just like that...and here I am stuck and procrastinating since morning to complete a simple task on my to-do list!!

god! someone give me answers please :D
