urgent vs important

it is kind of hard to remember what the important things are, over the great noise of urgent things.

of course, not every single minute of our lives can be devoted to doing the things that we deem as important.

but, certainly, we spend a heck of a lot of time doing things that are urgent.

the first step, might be to spend a little time contemplating what things are important, that might not be so urgent, until it's too late.
