Then sit there and don't do it

If you turn it over to the universe you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered to you. This is where magic and miracles happen.

I believe that if you don't want to do anything, then sit there and don't do it, but don't expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you and unzip your fly for you.

“The thing is, when you buy them, first they are exactly the same,” said Samy Liechti, founder of Blacksocks, in a call from Zurich. “But what people do is they take out the socks in the drawer at the front.” As some socks get washed more than others, they start to fade, and thus customers no longer have perfectly matching socks.

Blacksocks spent two years developing a solution, Mr. Liechti said. The result is a kit containing 10 pairs of socks and an RFID reader for $190. The reader connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to an iPhone, where an app can tell you exactly which socks mate. It also helps track how many times each sock has been washed, and it has a “blackometer,” which uses the phone’s camera to read how black your socks really are.

Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.
