I'm what salespeople would call an "urchin": a sponge for information. Always reading, observing, analyzing. A nerd, basically. I've always been that way. And probably always will be.
And in our current world, it's easy for anyone to develop urchin-like qualities with so much available information all around us. But it's important to remember, that the only value in information is in its use.
Learning, reading, knowing, and gathering facts and opinions can be fun. It will expand your mind and give you new possibilities. But possibilities only become real through some form of action.
Don't masturbate on information: it feels good while you're doing it, but in the end... You know the rest.
