April 28, 2024 Sunday 4:45 pm MST Ideas here, Ideas there, Ideas are hiding Everywhere! An essay inspired from a segment of the "Sunday Morning" TV show I saw this morning, regarding doing nothing, is the topic for only my second essay in the past year. It comes at a time when Congress has a bill they are considering to lower the required minimum full-time work week from 40 to 32 hours. A new book called "Do Nothing" promotes spending periods of your day spend not doing anything. Any work, that is. Dining out, walking down the lane/beach/mountain trail are just a few of the things that one can argue is doing something but it is not working really. Important to me was the report that people over 65 don't like to do "nothing," many working past the generally accepted retirement age. Scientists at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology} report the brain needs to spend some time each day letting go of the cognitive brain to let the subconscious have a turn. The author of "Do Nothing" gave the lion as an example of an animal who works very little (seeking and killing its dinner} while spending the bulk of its time sleeping/napping/doing nothing. Was it Colonel Klinger on the TV show "Hogan's Heroes" who said "Veddy In-ta-resting?" Corrected: "Veddy in-ta-resting" comes from Laugh-In, a German soldier character played by Arte Johnson while smoking a cigarette. Thanks stevengepp ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** REVIEWING |
