Night Guy v. Morning Guy by Jerry Seinfield
I never get enough sleep.
I stay up late at night, ’cause I’m Night Guy.
Night Guy wants to stay up late.
“What about getting up after five hours’ sleep?”
That’s Morning Guy’s problem.
That’s not my problem, I’m Night Guy.
I stay up as late as I want.
So you get up in the morning, you’re exhausted, groggy….
Night Guy always screws Morning Guy.
There’s nothing Morning Guy can do.
The only thing Morning Guy can do is
try and oversleep often enough so that
Day Guy loses his job and
Night Guy has no money to go out anymore.
So… Which are you? How do you see yourself? What is your self-concept? Who wins your inner battles? How strong is your will? How deep is your motivation? Your self-discipline? Which do you choose? Pleasure of the moment or long-term treasure?

As always, I share what I most want and need to learn. – Nathan S. Collier
