Regularly walking outside is great exercise and a wonderful start toward living a healthier lifestyle and losing weight.
Walking around a gym (even with all the available tools), hanging out, and talking with people, however, doesn't do a lot for one's health or weight loss.
Yet it's pretty common to see people who desperately need aggressive exercise simply putting in their time with minimal effort in using the tools available for them to accomplish a significant objective.
The same principle applies to work.
You can embrace the activities and resources necessary to progress significantly on the opportunities in front of you. Or are you can simply hang out, wander around, and avoid doing the hard stuff you know you need to be doing.
