Solving problems is fine, but it has gotten to the point of being a global obsession. We somehow have it in our heads that if we solve all of the problems, we can sit back and enjoy the easy life. But in reality, we become lazy and complacent. And that's when we get flooded with even bigger problems.
On a sea floor that looks like a sandy mud bottom, that at first glance might appear to be sand and mud, when you look closely and sit there as I do for a while and just wait, all sorts of creatures show themselves, with little heads popping out of the sand. It is a metropolis.
Putting our heads in the sand is not a wise strategy.
We don't want to bury our heads in the sand about serious issues.
Putting our heads in the sand won't stop the inexorable advancement of technology.
Until they put that sand and dirt in my face I will not sit in church all day.
We cannot effect meaningful change if we become complacent, if we become comfortable with our own positions in the status quo.

Americans know our only response in the face of mounting risks from climate change must be the swift transition to a clean energy economy. We do not have the luxury of burying our heads in the sand.
There can be no more burying our heads in the sand by being afraid to even mention the words 'climate change' aloud.
Don't bring your sand toys to the park. That's another bad move. Because I go to the park, and I'm on the Vicodin and a little weed too - let's face it - and I go in there, and my wife's like, 'Bring the sand toys! Bring the sand toys!' And I know what happens every single time: I become sand toy repo man from the eight little kids that run off in nine different directions with my sand toys.
If being complicit is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I'm complicit.
I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.
It is important we don't become complacent, do our job and stay professional.
The challenges surrounding HIV and AIDS are getting more complex and mature, and we just can't stick our heads in the sand and say 'it can't happen to me.'
The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don't just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed. Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second we can turn the tables on Resistance. This second, we can sit down and do our work.
