I was tempted. On Facebook, a friend shared a link to pictures of Polish doughnuts and a recipe. With the message "No calories browsing...." in his status.
Agreed. Simply browsing gives us pleasure and yet does not add calories, and does not hurt our wallet either.
Wait, our mind does not work that way. Browsing stimulates our desire. Our desire may become action. Better to avoid browsing if you, like me, cannot resist the temptations.
That reminds me a quote from Margaret Thatcher:
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become your character.
And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
