GO TO WORK IDLE MINDS

Go to work idle minds.
For nothing is more promising than an idle mind drifting in a sea of vast thoughts with vague ambitions.

They who work not, but count they the reward as if it were the fruit of their labour, effort.

They count the chicks from the eggs yet to hatch.
They count the fruits on trees flowering.
They make harvest while the fields are still blossoming.

They wait, scarcely knowing in what direction they wait...
Suddenly the occasion arises which gives everyone the opportunity to act, when all youthfulness (impetus) has been wasted sitting still.
Yet they know not the chances they waste and the opportunities that pass them by.

They sound alarm when there is nothing to behold.
They blare the trumpet round the city when there is no battle cry.
They make important all the trivial because all day long they are in deep thoughts, so nothing is to be overlooked.
They ponder over everything, making the needless needful. And so, prioritize the frivolous and make the frivolous a topmost priority. Thus, running over the important and making it trivial and turning the trivial as important.

They blossom, green in pasture, so attractive but put forth chaffs, thorns with no a seed, fruit.

Idle minds, devils' workshop.
Never slip your mind into idleness.
For this makes nothing other than congealment.
Engage your mind creatively.

For as the body ages and is marked with wrinkles and frailty,
So the mind grows dull, senescent and congealed when not put to use.

Take no pleasure in the idleness of the mob.
For an idle mob never gets beyond gossiping, conspiracy, slandering, rumour mongering, eavesdropping, folly, ignorance and propagandas.

While great minds find paths and make trails, lesser minds stay idle gossiping and thinking, dreaming big.

Knowledge, ideas are not enough, we must apply.
Willing, dreaming (thinking) is not enough; we must do.
