I used to adhere to this philosophy but you have to watch out for your nerves and the possibility of burning out. Sports, contact with nature, good food and relaxation are necessary in order to start back at full stamina.

Even when I train for cycling or dancing, I've got to watch out for overtraining that just diminishes performance. For example, take a look at the way the guy Nureyev danced when he was 18, and when he was 26. In the second he's already ruined.

Taking a long-term stance, so, sitting around is necessary because I wanna live till I'm old and not be troubled by problems.

I have been thinking of starting a thread about which types are generally inclined to think in terms of what they're accomplishing. I think it's probably EJ types. They're not happy unless they feel like they're accomplishing something. They can't be content working in a position in which they don't get a sense of accomplishment from what they do. It's part of being "proactive, restless".
Everything can be an accomplishment, depending on what your values are.
