Balance my friend... I mean even positive critical thinking... ALL the time is no good I mean everyone needs to relax and laugh on occasion and not be analyzing 100% of the time.

I'm not saying don't relax when you need to, but I think for a lot of us we relax way more than we need, I would rather take advantage of every minute in every day. I think that if you were smart enough you could think at a higher level all the time, and simply relax a portion of it when necessary. I don't think it'd be something that's uncontrollable, but I do think that if you could have your normal state of mind at a very high level of thought processing, you would take in a lot more information, make a lot more connections, and miss a lot less of what's going on in your surroundings.
This might be a personal issue and if so I understand. To get deep with you, I really have a fear of wasting my life. You probably won't agree, but I would sacrifice all laughter/enjoyment in order to have an impact on the world for future generations. Sure I could spend my life only pleasuring myself, but what good would it do if I was just another number added to a yearly statistic? I want to make my mark on history. To help advance the human race, that's the true goal.I want to take advantage of every minute in every day as possible, because I never know when I might run out of minutes. Everyone dies, but I have the chance to live forever through the people I affect, the ideas I influenced, and in a way, all big achievements in history never would have happened without the last. If no one discovered energy, Einstein never would've been given the chance to hypothesize the "E=MC(squared)" equation. Even deeper if you think about it, someone who makes a meaningful impact only comes along every now and then, there's a reason that P doesn't = NP, because you cannot invent something two steps ahead of what currently exists, you have to go one step at a time, if someone's not there to take the next step, the person who could've made the step after that can't because they needed that person in order to connect the dots. The stars only align every so often where a long line of people are able to take the next step. All discoveries ever made started at step #1, no one went from no technology to now inventing a computer.
Sorry if that's too deep, honestly, it's what goes on in my head every day.
If you want to make your mark on history...why are you wasting time screwing around on internet forums, asking for advice from people who aren't experts in the subject?
