Boredom only lasts for two or three hours. So if you ever feel bored, don’t do anything stupid that might ruin the rest of your life, or the rest of someone else’s life. Don’t do anything you might one day regret. And the boredom might pass if you do something constructive. Doing something constructive leads to something good.

Dreamer an interesting word. If you think without action, people will call you dreamer. If you dream and hope that someone will come and understand your dream and execute action on your behalf. Then you are relying on your fate.
Even more interestingly if people cannot quantify your actions, again they’ll call you a dreamer, The line between dreamer and innovator is very blur.

People are constantly changing, and when you finally see someone’s true colors, they don’t always shine as bright as you thought they did, and sometimes those colors just fade to gray. When those colors do fade to gray, and all you can see is clouds and rain, you either choose to dance in the rain or find another rainbow… The choice is yours.” Nicole Rex
