Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends, integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

It is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do , it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have.

You can do two things at once, but you can't focus effectively on two things at once.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

In the end, the best way to succeed is to go small. And when you go small, you say no - a lot. A lot more than you might have even considered before.

Find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls.

Think as big as you possibly can and base what you do, how you do it, and who you do it with on succeeding at that level. It just might take you more than your lifetime to run into the walls of a box this big.
