London, November 01, 2006.
Announcement to be made :
I AM THE WORLD'S SECRETARY, EMPLOYED BY STUPIDITY INCORPORATED.
The world is turning into a strange place.
Over are the times where people stole other people's business ideas,quotes, articles and poems.There now is a new sport out there- stealing people's Emails !
I was totally gob-smacked when I recently posted an Email on a forum, only to find out a few hours later that someone else had copied and pasted nearly all of my Email ( they DID bother to change the name to their name though) and posted it on the very same forum - again !!
After my initial reaction, which was a mixture of anger, shock, amusement and disbelief, I thought about the whole scenario a bit more and started to become fascinated....
Being the person I am, I then started to ask myself some interesting questions:
What on earth was going on here ?
Could I make money out of this? Could I become the fairy of words, the queen of letters, the worlds' secretary, employed by Stupidity Incorporated ?
Or had I , who had merely posted a simple ad, unknowingly created a masterpiece of 21st century literature?
Even better, had I suddenly become so cool that people wanted to copy my every word ?
Hmmm.......I don't think so.....
I finally decided that it all had to be part of a strange, new phenomenon, also known as "we are becoming less and less intelligent."
People simply cannot be bothered to put good, empowering, educational material into their brains anymore. Many guys and girls haven't managed to read a single book since they left school, and they leave their ongoing education up to the television - because it's easy !
Funnily enough,the same group of people have often become obsessed with serial dieting.
I do agree that it is very important what you put into your body, but what, for heaven's sakes, do you feed your mind?
How about your mental health ? Your sanity ? Do you really think you will become peaceful, happy, relaxed, inspired and intelligent by watching one trashy soap opera after the other?
Well - I don't think so!
The only thing that can come out of you is what you have put in in the first place. In other words :
In the same way that too much junk food will make you ill and overweight, too much mental junk will make you stupid!
What could happen if you turned this around? If you consciously decided to read empowering, intelligent and inspirational books ? If you listened to uplifting audio tapes ? And went to educational seminars? Or went to a concert, an art gallery, a museum, or the cinema and theater on a regular basis? Would that be good for your mental health?
You bet so!
And what will it cost you if you don't invest in your education?
Well, you might end up like one of those people who cannot even compose their own Emails anymore, because they have allowed their brains to go to sleep!
Somebody once said: "If you think that education is expensive,try ignorance." How true.
That doesn't mean that you need to rush down to your nearest University right now and study for 20 different degrees, or even obtain any qualifications at all. It simply means that it would be beneficial to pursue some interests, learn some new skills, and feed your brain some positive, intelligent, empowering and uplifting food for thought on a daily basis.
If you are one of those people who think that they know everything already, think again :
If you are green you grow, if you are ripe you rot.
Feeding your mind and soul with positivity is truly wonderful. By becoming interested, you become interesting.
Positivity brings you inspiration, excitement and happiness. And joy.
And what, at the end of the day, do we REALLY think about someone who cannot even compose an Email anymore ?
Easy :
A no-brainer , in the truest sense of the word.
