Ever wondered how relaxing and joyful would it be if you didnt have to work? Do you get TIME TO DO ALL THE NOTHING YOU WANT? ( i found this on my fav t-shirt) I have always wondered who took away my time, why is that I dont get time to engage myself in my favourite passtimes and hobbies.
The truth is people have become so lazy because they think they are over-worked, while the truth is that people are not spending quality time in their office-work and they dont do any physical activity while working. The result, lack of sleep, lack of energy and less productivity... and the end result hard working people eventually become "Zombies".
So I started this blog talking about boredom and not hard-work and lack of sleep. But the point I am tryin to put is the level of activity people have today. People take vacation to relax coz they need a break from their work and give their brains some good food. Thats leisure time activity. How about classifying leisure as active and passive, sounds logical. Now describe passive activities:-

How about classifying leisure as active and passive, sounds logical. Now describe passive activities:-
- Watching television
- Spectator games/sports
- Shopping/spending money
- Gambling/betting
- Getting drunk/hogging on food.
If you agree with that, then think whether they give our brain some relaxation, yes they do, but do these feed the brain well and make us energized? Then the answer is no. Research (not mine) has shown that 90% of Americans today are active but passively...In the 1930s and the WWII people used to spend time reading, going outside, visiting friends and picknicking, dancing to pursue their interests after expending their activites doing manual work during the war times, but now lazing around is all we do in the name of relaxing. Kill the time, but do it efficiently; relax but enjoy outdoors; cherish moments, but challenge yourself !!!
