Getting paperwork under control makes me feel more in control of my life generally.

The biggest waste of time is to do well something that we need not do at all.

I always had the uncomfortable feeling that if I wasn't sitting in front of a computer typing, I was wasting my time - but I pushed myself to take a wider view of what was "productive." Time spent with my family and friends was never wasted.

People feel happier when they feel like they're progressing. When they feel like something in their life is growing or getting better.

If I pretend to myself that I'm different from the way I truly am, I'm going to make choices that won't make me happy.

I think self-knowledge is a key to happiness.We can build happy lives only on the foundation of our own natures, our own values, and our own interests.

We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.
