because in this age of technology,
we always feel busy.
But what consumes our day?
Watch this one-minute video,
and try to detect what’s
going on in the life of one brother.
His life is in a rut.
Try to figure out why.
Would you say
that this brother’s life is in a rut?
Oh, he’s active all day
—he always has something to do.
But it’s as if his mind

Have you ever had the experience
of reading an e-mail
while someone
is trying to tell you something?
