Tiger Woods Sex Scandal
Another murder in downtown
The stock market has crashed
How is all of this news related? Simply put, its all bullshit
Bullshit to listen to
Bullshit to care about
Bullshit to talk about
This is not real news, this is gossip on steroids
If you want to become a more “informed” individual your best bet is not to have CNN running 24/7 in your household, but actually to turn off the TV, put down the tabloid newspaper, and tune into something with a bit more substance
What has more substance?
Blogs, books, articles, noteworthy magazines, webinars, informative newspapers
By unplugging yourself from news world, you in avertedly plug yourself right back into the essence of what it means to be an informed individual
Knowing how to cook a turkey because you learned about it in a cook book certainly has more weight than knowing the current bra size of your favorite celebrity
Reading a great sci-fi book will bring you more intellectual stimulation than watching the newest episode of Dancing with the Stars
You become a more knowledgeable person the minute you decide that reading/watching/listening to something that truly interests you and gaining some form of worthwhile stimulation out of it, instead of hearing about the latest gang shooting in your neighboring city.
And if you are worried about not keeping up to date with current events, don’t
The minute something really important happens, you will hear people actually talk about it
Unplug to get plugged in, and I promise, if the world is going to end to tomorrow, ill be sure to let you know about it 😉
Cheers Tiger Woods
