Boredom. From it we draw inspiration, joy. Without boredom, some of the greatest works of literature would not have been completed. For example, do you think Robert Louis Stevenson would have written Treasure Island if he had been busy with a million other things to do? Do you think we would have The Lord of the Rings if J.R.R. Tolkien had been infatuated with woodcarving? Oh, and I know this isn't literature, but maybe if Gregor Mendel hadn't had nothing to do in the small hours, then he wouldn't have begun experimenting with pea plants and he wouldn't have become the father of genetics. The point is, being bored is not a drag. Being bored is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to do something spectacular. So next time you are sitting around bored, use it to your advantage, and create a masterpiece, be it literature, science, or whatever you're interested in.
Also, an addition to this post: If James hadn't been bored, would we have the amazing http://www.jamesblog02.blogspot.com? ...OK, sorry, don't mean to stretch it there.
About Me
- King James
- Thoughtful guy who often doesn't think. Procrastinator who gets straight A's. Uneducated food critic. Physicist (kind of). Biologist (some day). Chemist (I hope). Olympic gold medalist (OK, now I'm just lying to you.). Nobel Prize winner. (Hope you aren't buying that.). Basically I started writing a blog because I like to write. And because I like people to read what I write. And sometimes, using quotation marks, I like to write what I read.
