A Moral:
While taking a trip on a boat, a philosopher asked the boatman if he knew philosophy. When the boatmen replied in the negative, the philosopher sighed: "Ah, then you have lost half a life." A storm broke and the boat began to sink. The boatman asked the sage, "Do you know how to swim?" When the philosopher shook his head, the boatman said, "Ah, then you have lost all of a life!"
I think this little tale explains "doing" very clearly. Ten minutes of doing is more beneficial than an hour of dissertations, debating, and excusing.
Next time you are catching your breath, ask yourself if you are the philosopher or the boatman.
Not that philosophy is bad, but I save it for the eight seconds it takes me to fall asleep from a day of doing.
Stir that into your Latte's,
