Talk does not cook rice

“Talk does not cook rice” – Chinese proverb

Talk will not measure the rice. It will not light the fire. Or serve it to the hungry once it’s done cooking. Nope.

Talk does not get the rice cooked and it will never cook rice. (Unless of course a Chinese Company named TALK creates a RICE COOKER… But I digress 🙂 )

Talking and Thinking about your ideas and your to-do list will not get the job done, there is a need to sit down and do the work.

The creative mind must learn how to shut off Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the Internet, focus properly and create art. Create something really remarkable.

That is why you really should stop day dreaming about your awesome website that attracts 1, 000, 000 visitors everyday when you are yet to SIT DOWN and even learn web designing 101. Stop day dreaming about your 1st class certificate and pick up your books for a thorough study.

Even if you do not day dream about success, if you shut up, get off unproductive tasks and work hard, you will get the results others are talking and dreaming about.

Ok, so what exactly are unproductive tasks?

I am not the hypocrite who says Facebook is bad, get off it! I personally spend time on Facebook to stalk people I care about, but what you really want to avoid is excessive, pointless, non-productive use.

It is not productive to post a status update every 10mins, even Mark Zuckerberg, the Founder of Facebook doesnt post that often, why do you??

The time invested into Social Media abuse, Daily snapping of “Selfies”, Whatsapp/BBM chats that are pointless are better invested into cooking the rice.

Go get the job done!
