It has come to my attention that two people, when given the same amount of time (24 hours) to spend for a month, will produce totally different result. What do I mean by this? We are all given 24 hours right? How come our success or level of happiness is so different when we have the same resources?
I know that the majority of people spend their free time watching television or youtube. Although I watch them occasionally too, I find that being addicted to the "idiot box" is not a very fulfilling way to spend that free time. A lot of us keep complaining that life sucks and things should be better and yada yada yada but seriously, if you take a moment and reflect about it, why are some people richer or more successful while others remain in the same place and keep grumbling about it.
Ok, let's just take language learning for example. Some people can learn so many languages and remember most of what they learned while others keep wishing that they hope they will get better. If you analyze how successful people spend their time, you will notice that they make sustained efforts to improve what they are trying to be better at. There are hardly any secret to it at all. Just hard work and persistence and of course, finding out what works and stick to it.
Personally I think television is good if you're using it to learn or discover something. Watching soap operas is like watching how others live their lives. Nothing wrong about it but I think it's much better to spend more time living one's own life...
