Time is your most important resource. You can do so much in ten minutes. Ten minutes; once gone is gone for good.

Most things remain undone. Glorious future!

What is good for our customers is also in the long run good for us.

Ten minutes are not just one-sixth of your hourly pay; ten minutes is a piece of yourself. Divide yourself into ten units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activities. Most things still remain to be done.

Happiness is not reaching your goal. Happiness is being on the way.

If there is such a thing as good leadership, it is to give a good example. I have to do so for all the Ikea employees.
