This is a line from the CBZ Xtreme video advertisement. It didn't make much sense to me till I met one gal who despite her talent was not able to do things the way she could have, only because she was thinking too much. "Thinking is a waste of time" when you know what you want to do. Thinking on how to do it is good but wasting time on thinking about the fact that I need to do this or not is a sheer waste of time. Instead of just wasting time realising this and hoping that the thinking would settle in the mood, one should go out and do it. Atleast that way you would know practically will it work or not.

For instance I would like to mention about one friend of mine who likes this gal in office, she is smart and have the eyes that a person is likely to admire her. So one fine day this gal went out for snacks as usual and my friend after her; hoping to talk to her and get her number out. So he goes boldly to her and just before he could say something, he starts to think I don't know what. The gal seemed to be in hurry so I asked my friend to talk and he still kept thinking. The window of opportunity was small and he let it go. And I was like "what the hell are you thinking man". I knew that he was nervous but thats not gonna help anyways. And too much planning is not gonna help either. Instead of thinking he should have gone there and said something. Whatever may be the result he would not have wasted time thinking atleast. He is repenting it anyways.


This is what I guess happens when you just think too much and this is also what makes the difference between the winner and the loser. While the loser thinks, the winner goes out with the trophy. Think about it- what would happen if James Bond started thinking instead of just doing it - won't the movie be too long and bore; not to mention that bond would be dead. I mean should he think or just jump shoot and run?

Thinking, its a waste of time. If you know the goal then don't wait, its like a football game where time is your opponent. If you stand for long, then the other player would take it away, even if you are moving it about a given area even then you are prone as more players will move in to take the ball. Best option is see the target and move. Evaluate in that small time and move back and forth. Pass it even, your objective is the goal not the ball. Don't waste time thinking about it.

Remember, "Thinking, its a waste of time." And remember James Bond :)
