"I see no reason to get up in the morning if I don't mean to matter." - Tom Peters
I do agree with this quote because if a person in going to get up in the morning and do nothing that matters to them or to anyone else, then what is the point? Nearly everything people do either matters to them or to someone else. Even if it is just going to the beach for the day to tan or running errands, it all matters. Going to the beach to tan might matter to you because you enjoy doing it and running errands might matter matter to a friend or family member because they are relying on you. Doing something that you have to do or just want to do always matters because every action has some sort of physical or emotional consequence to it, either good or bad. Tanning might cause you to feel good and relaxed or bad and burned, and running errands might make you tired and stressed, or happy that everything is done.
It is impossible to never do anything that matters to you or to anyone else. Even if you lie in bed all day and don't move, that is something that matters to yourself. Everything you do matters even if you don't realize it. The hard work you do in school will help you get into a good college and eventually into a good job, so even if you hate it, the work matters. The friendships and relationships you have matter, they give you lasting people to rely on and help you become the best person you can become. The stupid stuff you do matters, it helps you realize that it is stupid and helps you to not make mistakes again. So trust me, even if you don't think it matters, it does, everything matters.
