The Easiest Way to Live a Short, Unimportant Life
- To put it bluntly: the easiest way to live a short unimportant life is to consume the world around you rather than contribute to it.

- Cook a meal instead of buying one. Play a game instead of watching one. Write a paragraph instead of reading one. You don't have to create big contributions, you just need to live out small ones each day.

- Contributing and creating doesn't just make you feel alive, it keeps you alive.

- Be an adventurer, an inventor, an entrepreneur, an artist. Suggest your own ideas instead of reacting to everyone else's. Be an active participant in life and contribute to the world around you. Make good conversation. Make good art. Make a good adventure. But above all, make something.
