Boredom and Weight issues

Life is short, but sometimes it seems
to drag on...
I watch TV, movies or randomly surf the internet reading blogs and other stuff ;) to kill boredom. The thing common in all these three activities is that I eat (rather hog) while I am doing them. Killing boredom means eating more, and more of junk like chips, pizzas, burgers and the lubricating coke. I certainly would not exercise to kill boredom.And this is how it all begins
Stage 1: We get bored. It could be because we worked faster than we thought or didn't feel like working at all.
Stage 2: We think of constructive ways to kill boredom
Stage 3: We fail at the second stage and switch on the TV and after a lot of lazy effort get the chips and coke along.
Stage 4: We succeed at stage 3 and watch a lot of TV, surf unnecessary websites and do a lot of other rubbish things.
Stage 5: The realization that its time we get out of it.
Stage 6: And when we get out of it, the realization that boredom was actually good.
Stage 7: These experiences occur more frequently in a month
And Finally: Time to reduce the 5 kilos gained all this while.
PS: There other creatures who do things I generally hate to do - They go shopping

Mediocrity to Greatness

I always felt the difference while I sat in an interesting class that prompted me to do the assignments to a boring class, which was like taking sleeping pills and fighting the enemy on border. Anyways Peter principle elaborated it. Just going through the first chapter of "Why Things Go Wrong" gave me a sense of why mostly people crib about their jobs, work place and then go for a higher degree ( like an MBA,M-Tech,Msc etc. or diploma) to get into a job that would probably satisfy them (finally). But does it satisfy them? That's another debatable topic. Coming to mediocrity, chapter one of "Why Things go wrong" made me bump into a quote by William Arthur Ward and I am splitting and spilling it below. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Inspiration to perform and outdo is what drives out the pending sleep and lethargy to make us perform. The same goes for work. But whatif a mediocre...
