Marie O'Conner

So the first thing I found out about this quote while looking up the background information for her was, her name is Mary O'Conner not Marie, which means my source messed up which I think is messed up. But also if I look up Mary O'Conner it wants to give me this woman who was in Playboy apparently, so just warning you incase you ever want to look her up. After doing some more digging past the Playboy woman, and the fake name I found that there was a Mary O'Conner, she was born on March 25th, 1925 in Savannah, Georgia, and she lived until August 3rd, 1964. Her father died in 1941 of Lupus. She became a famous novelist, and writer. She wrote a total of two novels and a lot of essays. She went to the University of Iowa to study journalism. In her family, it was Lupus was hereditary, in which she ended up getting in 1930, dieing in 1964.
The quote I have of hers says, "It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised; the mosquito is swatted." In my opinion, i take this as her saying if you do not want to be busy, then do not be busy. You are always busy, hence the busy bee, the bee is praised. You may annoy someone because of you being so busy all of the time, and which I take as the "mosquito is swatted."
In my daily life, I am not always so busy, not running around wise but doing homework wise I am always busy. At this very moment I am doing homework for a class, instead of hanging out with my dear friends, since it is the weekend. I'm sure they get slightly annoyed by that. But, I hope they understand that this is the way things have to be in order for good grades. Aside from that, I know of some other people that are normally busy. Someone in my family, seems to always be busy. They run around doing everything on their agenda, all the time. Which I do not know if that is a good or bad thing, because if you ever want to get out of the house, they are always there. But if you just want to stay home and watch television, then they most likely are not.
