VICE-PRESIDENT WAYNE’S WARNING · TO THE
MALLITES
The seven warning signs of thinkingThe time that matters is now
Chapter 7
The third early warning sign of thinking is ambition,
2Which you may have heard about,
3Somewhere.
4For those of you who haven’t, ambition is a feeling of wanting to do something,
5Or achieve something,
6Or be something,
7gSomething different or better than other people.
8If you should feel a spell of ambition coming on,
9aDo some drugs instead.
10bThe thing is, there isn’t anything worth doing,
11Which you already know,
12And should try not to forget,
13Because wanting to do or be something makes you focus on the future,
14Instead of the present,
15Which can be even more dangerous than remembering things from the past.
16cThe only time that matters is now,
17dAnd the only way to be is the way you are now,
18Just like everybody else.
19As soon as you start looking at things in some other way,
20You can make a lot of unnecessary trouble for yourself.
