Happiness is determined by factors like your health, your family relationships and friendships, and above all by feeling that you are in control of how you spend your time.

Laziness is built deep into our nature.

I would not advise people to buy a car or house without making a list. You will probably improve your intuitions by making a list and then sleeping on it.

I have always emphasized the willingness to discard.

Many ideas happen to us. We have intuition, we have feeling, we have emotion, all of that happens, we don't decide to do it. We don't control it.

It's a wonderful thing to be optimistic. It keeps you healthy and it keeps you resilient.

Money does not buy you happiness, but lack of money certainly buys you misery.
