Notice that you won't see highly successful people wasting their time on passive entertainment and pastimes (really, "pass the time"). Why? They have no time to waste. They're doers. That's why they're successful.
What's the difference between a champion and a couch potato?
1. A champion sets goals.
2. A champion has a plan of action how to achieve his goals with daily work quotas that he demands from himself.
3. A champion perseveres and is not discouraged by temporary setbacks. He is dilligent and never lazy.
4. A champion is focused; he is constantly making progress along his chosen path; he shuns wasted effort on extraneous and inconsequential things.
5. A champion has no time to waste.
A couch potato has no goals and therefore no plan of action. He's discouraged by the slightest obstacle and can hardly get out of bed in the morning. In his laziness, he dreams of leisure. His mind is not focused and he has all the time in the world.
No matter who you are or what you do, whether you run a household or manage a business, apply the above five points to your life and with Hashem's help, success will shine on you too.
Happy Rosh Chosesh everyone especially the ladies:)!
Goal setting is a gr8 message and also the acknowledgement of how detrimental coach-potatoing it can be physically and spiritually----gee what did folks do for recreation before the invention of the tv? And now, alot of us have mini tv's aka smartphones and/ or tablets!
So (cv) is it more challenging today to resist the coach potato syndrome with the technology invented which theoretically gives us more time?
