I know what I just did was make a very strong statement, but hopefully you'll see there's some truth in it.
Sorry, I don't see much if any truth in that statement at all.

I am a very motivated person and I have risen to a highly placed officer ranking in my profession and intend to continue rising. I have begun my own little futures trading business to generate extra income, I am learning a language and the saxophone, I train daily in kung fu.

Yet I still find plenty of time to read entertainment books along with plenty of other books.

Further to that, I wonder what life would be like if we all thought time spent on entertainment was a "waste". No time spent reading, visiting art galleries, watching movies, playing sport, listening to music or playing an instrument, visiting with friends and family, celebrating birthdays. What a boring life that would be.
