Time

     One quick way to get me irritated is to say: "I wish I had time to do that" in response to someone's story about their interests or how they spend their time. We all have 24 hours in the day. Don't sleep nine hours a day. Don't run a farm that doesn't make you a nickel. Don't push your kids into hobbies that barely interest them and then consume both of your lives. You choose how to use up your time.
     I saw a great speech by Gary Vaynerchuk today on Youtube. It was all about chasing your passions in life. The gist of what he said is if you have to work nine to five then you do this in your other hours. Work nine to five,  come home, spend a couple of hours with the family and then seven to two are prime hours. Don't argue about the semantics of the time. Nine to two, ten to two, whatever. We all have time. He accentuated the point with an awesome quote: "You have time. Stop watching fucking Lost!"
