8/27/10 Quotation

The Zombie Survival Guide
"Remember; no matter how desperate the situation seems, time spent
thinking clearly is never time wasted." -Max Brooks

This quote holds quite a significant portion of the story as dealing with zombies is no easy task. If you lose your head and don't think rationally, you'll probably die. The whole point of the book is to help you survive dealings against zombies and your mind is what you will need most to survive in such an ordeal.

This quote does not specifically deal with only zombies, but it can also deal with everything you do on a daily basis. Irrational thinking can get you in trouble or something of similar caliber while thinking things through will get you ahead on the long run. For example, math; just simple doing it as fast as you can to get through with it may lead to bad consequences, like a bad grade. On the other hand, if you think through the problems first and then finish up the problems you will most likely get a grade worthy of the hard work that you put in. Rash actions will hurt you on the long run while using your head will keep you ahead. Besides the zombies, in war people have to think out strategies to defeat their enemies and the side that just rushes headlong into the battlefield are usually the ones that end up becoming swiss cheese. Thus, before you ever decide to do anything, think it over first.
