If we did realize the difference between the vital few and the trivial many in all aspects of our lives, and if we did something about it, we could multiply anything that we valued.

Use all the willpower at your disposal to make yourself happy. Construct the right stories about yourself - and believe them!

Make the choice that you want to be happy. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to other people too.

It is not that we are short of time....It is the way that we treat time, even the way that we think about it. A time revolution..is the fastest way to make a giant leap in both happiness and effectiveness.

To get useful new ideas, we must go beyond our immediate circle and make contact with distant parts of the social system.

Chose the niche that you enjoy, where you can excel and stand a chance of becoming and acknowledged leader.

There is no shortage of time. In fact, we are positively awash with it. We only make good use of 20 per cent of our time.... The 80/20 principle says that if we doubled our time on the top 20% of activities, we could work a two-day week and achieve 60 per cent more than now.
