Thanks to Brian Morrissey, who on his blog The Internal Pigdog, in this post , pointed out a video of Will Smith touting running and reading as the keys to life. I like both, but I’d encourage a bit of wisdom in eating, strength training, and a touch of cross training in many cases to add to your list of useful keys. Some of my recommended reading is in the Amazon script off to the right below. Sooner or later, I may add a subdivision on useful relevant and a bit of selected fun reading. In the meantime, thanks again Brian for highlighting this video.
Running is a fine, speedy way to achieve cardiovascular fitness. Reading is a way to stay in touch with your world, explore alternative worlds, learn how to improve yourself, help others, see what others are thinking now and have thought in the past. The Inernet, modern libraries, Amazon, and even your local book stores have made more knowledge available faster than ever before. While the social media and Web 2.0 have helped change the phrase from “that is so yesterday” to “that is so 20 minutes ago”, it is important to sit back, power the computer down, or at least let your screen saver take over, and grab your kindle or read a book.
