Busy as Keyword

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2005-11-26 21:25 · Life

How fun. Some one searched:

I am extremely busy recently in Google and got to my site. Haha.

P.S. I found a strange trend that when I ask my friends around me, “How are you doing these days”, the more common answer is “Busy” or “exteremely busy”. I have two or three friends who are always happy to describe how many lunched they have skipped or how many nights they didn’t sleep. The question is, is “being busy” something to show off? Is he taking “being busy” as an accomplishment or archivement?

I hope I am leading an effective life, instead of busy life. :-)

To most people's understanding, being busy means they have many things to do and do not just idle away. So possibly it is a kind of showing off.

I can understand why guys say that. Possitively, they just want to confirm the fact that they are needed. But showing off is very stupid, especially by young people.

Jiangjinjiu, you're right, if people have no value they need to do something to believe that they have a value. Even if lying to themselves.

Busy, yes - but busy with WHAT ? If you ask the guys who claims they are busy, they may say that even breathing is to be busy...

Later in life it is a priviledge to AVOID being busy !

My old mom (71yo) says she is SO happy having 2 days a week where she don't have to go out for something (but she is hyperactive, I think).

It's true.

Recently, it seems that people all around me are unexceptionally Mr and Ms Busy.

Life is short, it deserves much more than busy.

The fact is:

Are we really so busy as we said?

or it is just a altisonant excuse for current stupefying boredom?

Nowadays, information is the money. Even for myself, just getting to know a bit of html code after I learned Adsense can let me make some money. Then you know what I am doing in the following days. Addicting the search engines to find some so-called keywords (my own SEO, kidding,:-P) to put on my blog to let the search engnines to target my blog in return.
