We Can Do This — 3 weeks ago
Let’s quit watching television. Is it that easy. The answer most of the time is simply no. Why? Because we don’t live alone in this planet. We are surrounded by people everywhere and watching television is as common as eating three meals a day. Why the comparison with the meal? Nutritionists today don’t advice three meals idea instead five smaller meals with less time within each other, but if you check around you most of the people still eat three big meals a day and probably your family does too, now let’s say you are aware that the five smaller meals are healthier and you want to follow this diet. So you say to yourself “I’m gonna eat five meals a day from now on”, so yo go to your family and spread the idea and not all of them react good to it lets say one of them says “Oh so no we have to cook two times more because you just feel like it” etc. etc. You know how this is going to end. You are going two keep eating three meals a day probably for the rest of your existence. Now you know you want to quit television because you know its unproductive and a waist of your time, but you are human and humans are not made to live alone in this world, you have to have things in common with people to be accepted, attract friendships, through friendships relationships and live a healthy life.Now television is one of the most popular things in this planet, almost every middle class and above human being has a television set and uses it several hours a day. So it’s very common to have a television show that you like in common wit that really good looking girl or guy, if you’re a woman, that you want to meet. You can say television has many roles even the one of cupid. So you want to take this pretty huge thing that almost everyone has in common and say: “no i don’t want to watch television anymore” and then you begin to have a huge difference with pretty much everyone around you and probably including your family. So when people you used to have things in common before because of television see you are not the same person anymore they will probably just stop calling o talking to you. I mean really what else could they talk about. People who watch sports, football games no longer have things in common with you, yeah you can read it in the paper but its not like you saw the touch down in the bar with them and drinking beer, all of a sudden you are pretty much alone on your decision and you decide to quit. Here is what i want all of us to do. There’s a phrase i like a lot, awkwardly it comes from a movie, the very recent movie Batman: The Dark Knight. It goes like this: “The darkest hour is just before the dawn” People are not just going to notice how you have changed in the way the don’t have televisions shows in common with you anymore. They are going to notice your productivity too. You start achieving believe me. They are going to notice over time and will want to be like you. Inspire people, you will have to suffer a little but after a while a bunch of people , probably the friends you should really keep around you or your real friends are gonna join you on this goal. You can do this. We can do this. Good Luck.
