QuickFix

Recently, we had ‘Save the earth hour‘ and it was suggested to switch off the lights for one hour. I am always amused by these so-called symbolic actions. It doesn’t make a difference and, on top of it, gives people the misguided feeling that they have done something useful. It is the same when we go on a three-week diet in order to lose weight. Or get an additional paper in order to be more educated.

For true results we need to go for a change in lifestyle e.g.

If you want to lose weight, a diet won’t do it. You need to embark on a healthy lifestyle a combination of sufficient exercise and a moderate intake of healthy food. Don’t eat more calories than you burn. For good, for the rest of your life.

Obviously, a good education is important. Though we need to recognize that many things that we learn today are out-dated literally tomorrow. Being well-educated needs continuous learning through experiences, reading and studying. Keeping the mind nimble and remain open towards evaluating new concepts and ideas. For good, for the rest of your life.
