Assignment 19- Will Stone

The most valuable piece of advice I have ever heard was, "'Don't be an idiot', changed my life. Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing." (Dwight Schrute, The Office) But all jokes aside, it is actually good advice. Many of the world's problems would be solved if some of our leaders didn't act like idiots. In my life, it has helped me to lower my procrastinating (lower, not eliminate) and keep me focused on what matters in life. It has helped me to think before I act and consider the consequences of my actions. This has kept me from doing stupid things and has kept me out of trouble I otherwise would have gotten in. I know it was meant as a joke, but it has real implications that apply to real everyday life.
