14 JULY 2026 WorldWide Drilling Resource® The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” Who do you think lives longer - idiots or nonidiots? Yes, this brief article is why idiots die sooner, but if you are not one, it just might help you add a few extra years to your lifetime. So, what are the traits idiots have that cause them to die younger? In no special order they are: 2 Stress is the single biggest contributor to death. The biggest contributor to stress is impatience, and the biggest contributor to impatience is the need for control. So, if you are a control freak (idiot), you are slowing killing yourself every day. Why do idiots think they can control everything? Just ask one someday and listen to their stupid answers. 2 The next one is that idiots tend not to be driven by appreciation or gratitude, but ego and self-aggrandizement. Medical research has again and again found that people who live with gratitude and appreciation live longer and healthier than idiots. Try saying thank-you more often, you might be surprised by the responses you get. 2 Giving vs. taking. It’s a fact that people who give more of themselves to others - time, support, compassion, understanding, help, etc. - live healthier than folks who seem to be only interested in what they want, need, and feel they deserve. 2 Next is idiots don’t know how to laugh at stuff and just have fun. It’s always about them and not anyone else. Yes, they laugh and can have fun, but it’s not about commonsense stuff, just stuff they find funny according to their self-oriented personality, behavior, beliefs, and values. 2 The body is more than 70% water. So, if you stay focused on negatives, causing your body to produce more acids than alkaline it would keep all the organs of the body surrounded in negatives of acids rather the positives of alkaline. The outcome? Laughter can be a wonderful healer of not only emotional challenges, but other life issues as well. 2 Next, letting go and yes, there are others, but if you pay attention to just these, you might be amazed at how your life will seem to improve in many ways. Idiots have to hold on to stuff - anger, regrets, blame, disappointment, previous hurts or wrongs, and a lack of forgiveness, etc. The past is dead, folks - you can’t fix it now. It’s too late. Trust me, I know because for many wasted years, I spent too much time and energy trying to fix or change the past. 2 And finally, idiots spend too much mental time in the future and the past, instead of the now. You can’t change what happened yesterday and you can’t control what’s going to happen tomorrow. So just chill, and enjoy every day you are given. Idiots have to hang on to past stuff too long and get too disappointed if the future doesn’t happen the way they feel or believe it should, according to their expectations, plans, or needs. So, how are you doing based on a few of the above? Going to live longer and healthier, or should we add your name to the ever-growing role of idiots today?
