In case you weren't feeling inadequate enough

I ran across this quote today that made me feel like I really don't have an excuse to get things done:

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. — H. Jackson Brown

No pressure! So maybe I should commit to work on a couple of masterpieces, inventing nuclear bombs, feeding starving children... and sleeping with a slave.

Yeah, whatever. None of these people enjoy episodes of LOST and Smallville or play on a Wii either. Plus, you would totally kick all of their butts in Simpsons trivia.

Damned TV! It ruins all of the geniuses. Does that mean we won't have any smart people in our generation?

Besides, most of these people either didn't have kids or had staff to help raise them. Hey, that's an idea. You guys need a full time nanny because, well, how else are you going to have time to do anything important?
