CAN I GENUINELY BE PRODUCTIVE IN TODAY'S DISMAL BISMAL SOCIETY?

Yesterday was the official opening of the Olympic Games or as I'd like to call it, a UNITED NATIONS ATHLETIC MEETING. Naturally, the whole world should be in London right now or in front of their TV participating from their Ikea corner sofa. But not everyone is, including myself. 

As much I wanted to catch a glimpse of my country's first ever canoeist John Akinyemi, I honestly really had more productive things to do.

How much productivity can we have as a people if we are too busy worrying about every other person and event going on out there? 

It terrified me as a college student when I couldn't get my papers done because I just have to check my facebook status every minute. But now I'm in the real world and I refuse to worry about not being able to make an impact in my generation because I want to see what Basketball Wife has slapped who today, or what Olympian has gotten the gold for their country today (not that its a bad thing).

Are you too attached to everything else going on that your own future is stagnant? (Food for thought)
