I definitely agree that we do spend a great deal of time "asleep", but I think there's more to being "awake" than just being productive. Our dreams and aspirations are what drive us to do more, but in most cases reality puts a barrier in our path. Living a life where we focus only on our goals can also lead us to continually lead blind lives. We need our dreams, we need to chase them, but we also have to take in every other aspect of life as well. We may be absentminded most of the time, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe instead of chasing one thing in life, we should chase everything. After all, there's so much to do and truly so little time to do it all.

Chase your dreams, but remember to take a few detours too. After all, what have we got in our lives once we've obtained our dreams?
