A Non-Prediction - HUMAN EVENTS
A Non-Prediction - HUMAN EVENTS
by Thomas Sowell
09/07/2010
"...What would probably get the economy recovering fastest and most completely would be for the President of the United States and Congressional leaders to shut up and stop meddling with the economy. But it is virtually impossible that they will do that..."
"...It is not just free market economists who think the government can make a mess bigger with its interventions. It was none other than Karl Marx who wrote to his colleague Engels that "crackbrained meddling by the authorities" can "aggravate an existing crisis..."

"More Guns Means Less Crime"
"In the new third edition of More Guns, Less Crime, available from the University of Chicago Press, economist John R. Lott, Jr., easily dispels any lingering doubt that allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns is strongly associated with -- if not a direct cause of -- lowering the rates of violent crime."

Procrastinator Extraordinaire!
I need to return to one of the original reasons I started this Blog -- it was a 21st century method of putting my thoughts down on paper (electronic paper). It seemed to give them the essence of something tangible --something I could study. And, it kept me focused.
When I write down projects and tasks on an actual "To Do List" it makes a BIG difference whether or not things get accomplished. Conversely, when a "To Do List" exists only in my mind, days, and even weeks, could often pass without results. My wife would say the "real" time frame was much longer -- months and years, perhaps even decades, would pass before a task was completely finished. She's right. I am a procrastinator extraordinaire! Imagine -- Decades passing without closure! But wait? That may be my problem!
Some folks do not think procrastination is a Virtue (my wife for one). I obviously do -- or did, or do. I know, I know; I can hear some of you thinking: "that poor woman." Actually, I'm kidding -- a little. But, my dad taught me if something was worth doing it was worth doing right. I was naturally good at Procrastinating, so it made perfect sense to raise it to an art form.

This is GREAT!. I think I've gotten to the root of a life long problem. Procrastination is NOT a Virtue; it's a Vice! Now, how do I change my habit of Procrastinating to something positive? First, what's the antitheses of Procrastination? I don't know, and I am getting a little sleepy.
I'll tackle Procrastination Tomorrow -- along with focus.
