Why do we spend so much of our life doing unimportant things?

This interesting paradox came to me this morning. Every day, most of us are so regimented to the 24 hours that the clock gives us, that time rules our life (literally minute by minute).

YOUR LIFE AS A BOOK by Mark Desvaux (4000saturdays.com) Another day in your life, another page in your book. With your every action, you write the description.
