How much energy does human waste while talking?
I'm pretty sure walking uses much more energy than talking, but talking also requires energy so you can open and close your mouth. Please answer my question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjKRrS3xW4e7P_R_oM591AIM_dw4;_ylv=3?qid=20130724002643AAOedo5
Do you think revenge is a waste of time?
Yes. There is too much suffering. Just move on.
We often walk into other people, and waste precious time. How much time would we save, if everybody went to their right when in this situation?
Say you run into someone once a month, it wastes 1 second of your time, and you live for 70 years (about global life expectancy.) Then you would have done this 840 times, and would have wasted 14 minutes of your life. Not a lot, considering the amount of time people use up binge watching TV (glance at friends.) You could also think of it in a positive manner: every time you told someone about this idea, you would save them 14 minutes of their life!However, you said “everybody” in your question. For now, I’m assuming that “everybody” means the population of the world. (If you wanted to be generous, you could include future generations too.) Here the numbers go weird. The population of the world is HUGE - about 7.4 billion people. 7.4 billion is 7,400,000,000. Multiply this by the amount of time an individual saves - 14 minutes - and we get 103,600,000,000 minutes, or 1,726,666,666.7 hours, or 71,944,444.4 days, or 197,108 years, or the total lifespan of 2,815.83 people. (I said the numbers would get weird.) So that’s pretty amazing.Good luck implementing your idea!
Going to the gym is a waste of time?

I feel chasing after women is a waste of time and I could be using the time towards more meaningful goals. Should I feel this way?
I think you sound very mature for your age. (I'm assuming you are a young man -- apologies if that's an incorrect assumption.) When I think of all the effort I put into dating when I was young -- dating men with whom I had no hope of a long-term or health relationship -- yep, that was a waste of time. (Not that I dated abusive or bad guys, they just weren't a good match, and deep down I knew it.) I think the key word here is "chasing." If you mean pursuing women who are not interested in you, or who are shallow and who don’t appreciate good qualities in a man (compatibility, honesty, kindness, reliability, etc.) I’d say that’s clearly a waste of time. (And if you’re honest with yourself, the signs are all there right away for those kind of women. But love/lust WILL blind you if you let it.)If you are simply dating women – enjoying their company, getting to know them, and maybe learning about yourself in the process – and these women appreciate you for who you are, then that’s not a waste of time. We are social animals; you need companionship. It may not be time spent “productively” in terms of getting ahead or earning money, but life’s about much more than that. If your ultimate goal is marriage -- my advice would be to enjoy dating but stay focused on developing yourself. Work to become the kind of human being you would like to marry – a fun person but also a good person who friends and family can count on in times of trouble. All that said, spending time chasing after love interests who aren’t right for you may just be a part of life. Better to get yourself out there and make a few mistakes rather than sitting at home on the couch watching the tube. I have to share a funny story. My husband once told my son (about 12 at the time) that he regretted wasting a lot of his youth chasing after women. He encouraged my son not to do that. Just focus on finding a good woman and developing a good relationship with her, he told my son, because in the long run, choosing the right spouse and having a good relationship will have a huge effect on your life. "Don’t waste a lot of your time chasing after women," he advised him. My son sat there for several minutes, thinking, then finally responded. “Dad,” he said. “Get ready for a lot of time-wasting.”

Why do you waste time playing video games when you could be out enjoying the world?
Let me tell you the story of a deeply intelligent person who “wasted” a lot of his time growing up playing video games.My boyfriend and I met in college, where we were both part of the honors program. He was brilliant in so many ways. An amazing musician, a top-level scholar, an accomplished athlete, a humble yet fearless leader. What I didn’t know when we first started dating is that he was also a devoted gamer.This didn’t make sense to me at first. Forget my own secret Sims addiction. This guy was so accomplished, but here he was, telling me that in high school, he used to play HOURS of video games, sacrificing sleep. Granted, he still managed to have a social life and get good grades, but with his talents, wouldn’t he be better off doing something else?Fast forward five years into our relationship. We are now “adults” and my company asks me to move to Germany. I am excited but also terrified – how will he find a job in this extremely competitive job market? He sends off application after application, but they all want someone who speaks German. We’re both anxious all the time. What if he can’t stay?Eventually, he starts getting offers. But the companies aren’t quite the perfect fit. Until… he is invited to work at a video game company, which releases some of the most popular games. Part of his interview? Defeating a boss in the game he’ll be working on.Moral of the story is – don’t judge someone by passions you deem as “less than.” Video games provide many people with relaxation, community, and an opportunity to build a world based off their imagination or to learn storytelling skills. My boyfriend and I are objectively successful young people, who travel and see the world. But sometimes, it just feels good to live in your imagination. And other times, your hobbies lead you to rewarding careers and experiences. There are healthy ways to have a relationship with video games. Too much of anything is a bad thing. But video games are not objectively bad, or objectively a waste of your time. We all have different hobbies. And that’s okay.
Does doing nothing mean a waste of time?
It depends on the person and what they desire from life.I know people that watch television and believe it is a great use of their time.I know people that believe television is a complete waste of time.What you desire from life will provide the direction that you walk. That walk will bring you in touch with many different life experiences.You will see others on your journey walking in different directions. Some may look at you, believe you aren’t doing anything and believe that you are wasting your time. You may look at them and think the same thing. But we can never know what truly is or isn’t a waste of time for someone else. We can only know how we waste our time.I love to go for walks and listen to house music on my headphones. It is very relaxing and peaceful. I am able to think clearly. My mind produces answers effortlessly to questions without me even thinking about the questions.I’ve had people tell me that walking and listening to music is a waste of time. Of course, they always have things that they do with their lives that they consider to not be a waste of time.I’ve learned to not judge people for how they choose to spend their time. Their time is their life. It is not infinite. It is finite. We all only have so much time to acheive our life goals.If your goals require reflection and introspection, it is very important to take the time. You don’t need to run through life. It is important to slow down and relax.Almost every highly successful person discovered something when doing “nothing”. Their brains were able to mentally provide knowledge and insight to them that helped to physically take their lives to the next level.
