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.

All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.

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

Your work life is divided into two distinct areas - what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.
