what can be worse
It can't get any worse, so just do it.

double negation
Pessimist: I don't understand how you are always so positive about things.
Optimist : At least I'm consistent in my way of thinking. I don't understand why are you always so negative about things except for your own way of thinking.

why plan
There is really no point in making detailed plans. Plans are made, preparation underway, and something cocks up, the plans go bonkers.
I suppose the important part here therefore is the ability to handle things when your original plans go haywire, which I'm so bad at.
So when you've something in mind, just get down to it. The detailed plans can come later as you slowly progress.

10 Bad Things That Are Good For You
1. Listening to Loud Music
You experience more pleasure from it.
2. Texting, Not Talking
More discreet, therefore a preferred mean of communication to youngsters in family communication.
3. Pounding the Pavements
Strengthen the cartilage around the knee.
4. Being a Bit Overweight
Greater reservoir of nutrition in time of illness.
5. Full Fat Dairy
"less likely to develop 'metabolic syndrome,' a cluster of symptoms such as high blood pressure, blood lipids and glucose levels that can lead to diabetes, heart disease and stroke."
6. Caffeine
Delay development of Parkinson's in men and probably prevent gallstone and improve performance of athletes. (Sounds good to me!)
7. Booze
Red wine and Beer helps against heart disease.
Gin and tonic prevent night cramps.
8. Computer Games
Helps hand-eye coordination and increases IQ! Good for learning physics (-> I must have played too little during childhood).
9. Sugary Soft Drinks
People who drink the sugarless counterpart are more likely to be overweight, since it's more healthy and you tend to drink more. It's all in the mind.
10. Being a Working Mum
Not relevant to me, but better health in general for working mothers.
The most important part is still to do the above ten in moderation. Too much of anything is usually a problem even if it's good.
