How often do you clean out your desk? Every day? Then you have the benefit of a neat desk, and you can find things. Of course, you may miss something more interesting while you tidy up your desk. If you're a messy-desk-keeper, you benefit by living each day to the max, but you
know the cost. You lose things. Important things. So finally you deal with the clutter: outcome mounds of mangled paper, overdue books, old pens,
and apple cores. And while you clean, the neat-desk-keepers have plenty of time for the things you would rather be doing!
What irony does this passage point out?
O 1. However you keep your desk, you will always lose things,
2. However you keep your desk, you spend time cleaning it and missing other things.
O 3. Messy-desk-keepers have more fun, but neat-desk-keepers get better grades.
4. School desks cannot be kept tidy no matter how often you clean.
