Every time you say yes to something you donโt want to do, this will happen: you will resent people, you will do a bad job, you will have less energy for the things you were doing a good job on, you will make less money, and yet another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke signal to the future saying, โI did it again.
James AltucherStick with the people who love you and donโt spend a single second on the rest. Life will be better that way.
James AltucherHelp is a conversation. If one side talks too much, the other side will get bored. So make sure you help back when you can.
James AltucherNobody can tell you what to do. No matter what they pay you. No matter what obligations you feel you owe them. Every second defines you. Be who you are, not who anyone else is, or who anyone else wants you to be.
James AltucherIf you try to get 1% better each day at your health, at your relationships and the way you treat people, at your creativity, and at turning despair into gratitude, then that 1% compounds into an amazing person. Do that 1%. Take one action. Even if the actions is for one minute. The 1/1/1 strategy.
