Wasting Time

Wasting Time

Whether we are wasting time or not is relative, isn’t it?

I mean, it’s relative to what is important to you.

Certain pastimes are often frowned on by the proletariat though – but do not believe them for one second.

Reading, walking, thinking, good music, sleeping, weight lifting, and spending time with your family are some of the best “investments” in the world.

Do these more.

And ignore those that try to stand in your way.

Understand: During a stressful day at work, a flânerie might be the best thing you can go do.

What fools call “wasting time” is most often the best investment.

-Nassim Taleb, The Bed Of Procrustes
