As far as men go,

it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

A rock is simply a rock;

a cauliflower is simply a cauliflower;

and a mouse is simply a mouse. But

human beings possess the ability

to actively shape themselves

There’s a virtue in boredom—and not just in tolerating it, but learning to embrace it. It’s where real value is created in life. And it's where the most value is experienced as well.

If you’re waiting for brilliance to strike, try getting bored first. That’s the takeaway of a study published recently in the journal Academy of Management Discoveries, which found that boredom can spark individual productivity and creativity.  In the study, people who had gone through a boredom-inducing task — methodically sorting a bowl of beans by color, one by one — later performed better on an idea-generating task than peers who first completed an interesting craft activity. (The task: to come up with excuses for being late that wouldn’t make someone look bad.) The bored folks outperformed the artists both in terms of idea quantity and quality, as ranked by objective outsiders who assigned uniqueness scores to each one.

We’re trying to swipe and scroll the boredom away, but in doing that, we’re actually making ourselves more prone to boredom,

because every time we get our phone out we’re not allowing our mind to wander and to solve our own boredom problems.

Adding to that people can become addicted to the constant dopamine hit of new and novel content that phones provide.

Our tolerance for boredom just changes completely, and we need more and more to stop being bored.

Next time you find yourself in line at the grocery store, in a tedious meeting or killing time in a waiting room, resist the urge to scroll. You’re bound to get bored — and your brain, mood and work performance just might improve.

In this episode, we draw parallels between a poem by Lao Tzu from the book Tao Te Ching and few precious words on types of Chands, spoken by Prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar of Udaipur, in one of his interviews.
