+“What I like doing best is Nothing."
+"How do you do Nothing," asked Pooh after he had wondered for a long time.
+"Well, it's when people call out at you just as you're going off to do it, 'What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?' and you say, 'Oh, Nothing,' and then you go and do it.
+It means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
+"Oh!" said Pooh.”

+The  most  effective  executives  are  those who  can both  act  and  reflect—which  means making  time  to  do  nothing. Doing  nothing involvesunplugging  ourselves  from  the compulsion  to  keep  busy,  the  habit  ofshielding  ourselves  from  certain  feelings,  the tension of trying to manipulate our experience before we fully acknowledge what that experience is.Doing nothing  givesus the opportunity to look atthe dark side of our nature, a domain of great energy and passion. But it takescourage to go to the regions of ourmind that we’re usually busy avoiding.
