If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.
attributed to: G.K. Chesterton, From What’s Wrong with the World, which was written in 1910. Part Four of the book is entitled, “Education: Or the Mistake about the Child.” The famous, and much abused, line comes up at the end of Chapter 14 of that section.
I first heard this quote from the brilliant spy novel "The Company" by Robert Littell. But like the quote, I could be wrong but the isn't going to stop me from mentioning it.
This quote seemed appropriate today because I have to pound out the blog entry. I have been thinking about all the passive entertainment I have been doing (movies, tv, and HORRORS of a video game) Waste, Waste, Waste. Also, I don't have time to fully think about the blog today. I was wonderfully surprised to find that Littell isn't credited with the quote, and today I'll work on digging into the author.
So, I did a little research on does TV make up happy, which I will report on tomorrow. Initially, I wasn't going to write anything - I have to teacher 10 hours straight today. But then the quote from the book came to mind, so I thought "Write something, even if it wasn't going to be great."
So, for tomorrow, I'll write about Does Watching TV Make Us Happy? and today it is just a short blog.
Gratitudes: Large hard drives, Banana Bread, and eye glasses.
