“The way to be nothing is to do nothing” –Nathaniel Howe

I think what Nathaniel was most focused on in this quote was accomplishments. Doing nothing is not an option unless you're a rock, or another way you could look at it would be, if you were sitting in a chair at home all day and all you did all day was stare at a wall you're not getting anything done. Instead of doing nothing why don't you do something, like things you're supposed to be doing that day or had made plans to do. Instead of being nothing, why don't you try to become something.
