The art of discarding ideas that don't work

You have better things to do than expecting free help to come from nowhere, letting other people determine your values and priorities, being rushed into making important commitments, or surrendering your rights in exchange of nothing

You have better things to do

You have better things to do than:

* expecting free help to come from nowhere
* letting other people determine your values and priorities
* being rushed into making important commitments
* surrendering your rights in exchange of nothing

You know better than:

* imitating others instead of doing what you want to do
* taking what is immediately available without bothering to look further
* being overwhelmed by other people's opinion or lack of it
* wasting your time trying to establish paradise on earth

So do not hesitate to:

* discard old things that do not work and try new things instead
* preserve your own time as something to be used as you wish
* walk away from situations where people tell you that you have no choice
* do what is right and true even if when it is unpopular
