Turn Off The TV
I like TV, but it’s such a colossal waste of time! I can’t believe how many of us (myself included) expect to be constantly entertained and end up wasting hour after hour a week watching our stupid TV’s. They say you can become an expert on a topic by simply reading 3-4 books. Likewise you could probably develop vocational or hobby skills very quickly if you dedicated your free time to study and practice.
Take cooking for example. If you took just one hour of TV viewing time a day and spent it learning to cook, you’d be the best cook on your block in 6 months. In 12 months you’d be the best cook in your extended family. In 18 months you could probably start a home based business preparing meals for other families or by specializing in a certain area, like wedding cakes or decorated birthday cakes.
Or you could learn to repair your own car, become an expect in some area of computing, or learn a foreign language. The opportunities are endless, but you must take the first step and turn off the TV!
