Multi Tasking
So, you are a multi-tasker.
You can...
1. Read an email
2. Write a cheque
3. Talk over the cell
4. Eat a multigrain low fat sandwich
5. Drink a zero cal cola
6. Say Yes/No to you secy...
...all at the same time.
You are a multi-tasker indeed.
Just look at your body for a moment.
What do you see?
A tummy, arms, legs...
Your body incidentally is made up of 7000,000,000,000 cells.
Don't count the zeros, that's 7 trillion.
7 trillion cells of different types.
Bone marrow.
Brain matter
Skin lining.
Follicle.
And there is stuff that happens inside each cell.
Approximately a few hundred reactions per second in each cell.
That's 7 gazillion reactions per second inside your body.
Coordinated by cells not even related to each other, such that...
you can visit the golf course,
attend the movie premier,
banish poverty from the world....
and also tell yourself that you are a cracking multi-tasker.
All this is coordinated by nature not just in the now, but across time too.
Even as your body renews itself every 7 years (all cells are replaced by new ones), it passes on an inherent natural intelligence so flawlessly...that the new one's which take over, act your age while being new borns themselves!
All that, while carrying on the fever pitch 7 gazillion reactions per second.
Look at what all that natural intelligence manages.
Keeps you alive.
Keeps your arrogance alive.
And does not make a fuss about it.
That must be multi-tasking indeed.
Yet a thought.
Do not test nature on it's capability to juggle.
Make it easy.
You cannot cut out staying alive.
Try cutting out the arrogance.
For running the rest comes naturally to nature.
