Work Smarter NOT Harder

 Since overwork kills more people than anything else I have noticed since 1950 the key is "Working Smarter not harder".

This is sort of a motto of people who go to college by the way. You go to college so that you CAN "work Smarter not harder".

Since the 1950s I noticed overwork kills more people than anything else really whereas I have found personally being out in nature keeps me alive the best when I have time to "Smell the Roses" so to speak.

I remember going to Yellowstone National Park in our motor home then in the 2000s about the time I started this blog with my youngest daughter and my wife. There was a Grizzly bear Siting and people were gathering to see this Grizzly bear. My wife was too scared to take our daughter who was about 8 years old then out to see the Grizzly bear. 

However, I wanted to see this as i had never before seen a Grizzly bear except from a car and there is always a danger one will rip your doors off your car or rip off your hood of your car or break a window to your car. So, if you are out in the open you have to be more careful.

So, I went to see this Grizzly bear in Yellowstone with a lot of other people and the bear was happy eating flowers in a meadow and very peaceful at that time. But, then some idiot got too close so the Ranger supervising all this arrested the man so he wouldn't be killed getting that close to the bear.

And I looked at all this and the Grizzly seemed like a Flower Child out of the 1960s out in nature eating flowers.

So, the point here is: "Work Smarter NOT Harder" because this is the key to a long and happy life.

How does one do this?

I think not working in a big city is the start of all of this where you have more free time like living out int he country somewhere so you have more time to "Smell the Roses" and to stay alive and be happy rather than just working yourself to death under fluorescent lights in an office in a big city where there are no trees to help heal you every day like there are out in the country.

Find a Way to work smarter not harder before you are dead from overwork from ages 20 to 40 years of age.

Nothing kills like working yourself to death.

But then again some people are such workaholics that all they can do is die it seems.

So, maybe you have to let them slowly or quickly kill themselves?

Anyway, I made it to 78 by working smarter not harder. So, if you want to live a long time you need some sort of strategy to do that.

It doesn't happen all by itself because we are not bears in the woods eating flowers for all to see.
