Robots are wonderful machines. There are times like today where I look at all that has to be done and wish I could flip a switch and turn into a robot.
I could fly through all that I have to do, in less than a fraction of the time.
How? With my robotic capacity, that’s how.
I’d be a special robot with the most advanced Get’er Done chip and a WillPower 3.0. And while we’re at it, a giant Flux Capacitor on my chest.
Unfortunately, as much as we might want to be, you and I aren’t robots. We’re far from it.
- We get distracted
- We don’t always get it right the first time
- Our timing is off
- We misinterpret things
- We forget
- We make decisions based on emotions
- We get tired
- We break commitments
- We make mistakes
- We aren’t perfect
While I wish I might have more robotic qualities, I’m glad I’m not a robot. Because the things that keep us from awesome robotic qualities are the things that make us unique and better than our hardwired hombres.
- We have the ability to learn, grow and adapt
- We can override the system
- We can love
- We can choose
- We can change our mind
- We can think outside the box
So the next time you wish you had an iron will and the concentration to last a full work day, remember that it’s a small price to be pay for being a creative being.
Something to think about anyway.

Flux capacitors suck. What you need is an oscillation overthruster.
To each his own, Mr. Many Jars :)
I'm glad I'm not a robot either, Glen. But it would be cool to own R2-D2. I bet he could get me out of some of the jams I often find myself in.
Agreed :)
So glad you're not a robot, I don't think you'd have been able to write a sweet little post like this otherwise. Also enjoying being a human being but I could definitely do with a cooking robot, a cleaning robot and a laundry robot. My husband just isn't up to scratch:)
I'm not saying robots are bad… I'd love one! Just that I'm glad I'm NOT one :)
Hooray for us non-robots! Oh, and here's another idea – I'm sure we would sound better on the phone than our mechanical counterparts ;)
An excellent reminder, set in a cute framework. Love it!
I loved this post. Very clever and does make one think for a bit. Great stuff!
Cheers,
Dayne
Thanks Dayne! Thinking… another thing that robots can't do ;)
Glad I'm not a robot! Sure, they can do things that us humans can't, but who cares? However, I sometimes I do wish I have WillPower 3.0.
One day, we all have to depend on robots!
Choice–the greatest power of a human being! Yet we often use it to blame God for our troubles, when we can trace most of them back to some human's poor choices. He gave us a fantastic gift, which we can use for good, for evil, and perhaps worse, for nothing.

hi very nice your site's contents. If this is a nice sharing. Thanks, but for my country because there is no content sites like yours as I would always follow the most liked sites like these and I'm waiting for new issues and explanations.
