Live life to the fullest

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking.

And this movement is quickly gaining popularity over the years.

Top 10 Reasons You Should Stop Watching TV

Television

“Hi Celes, one of your entries mentioned that you do not watch TV or read the news. Not that I’m attempting to incorporate that into my life, but it seems quite unimaginable for me to give up tv or news. I’m interested to know your thoughts on this.” – E
