Those who seize the day become seriously rich.

It is not shortage of time that should worry us, but the tendency for the majority of time to be spent in low-quality ways.

To be strategic is to concentrate on what is important, on those few objectives that can give us a comparative advantage, on what is important to us rather than others, and to plan and execute the resulting plan with determination and steadfastness.

There is no rush. If we think intelligently about what we can achieve with our time, we can be relaxed, even lazy. In fact, being lazy - having plenty of time to think - may actually be a precondition for achieving a great deal.

Only do the thing we are best at doing and enjoy most.

Hard work leads to low returns. Insight and doing what we want lead to high returns.

Few people take objectives really seriously. They put average effort into too many things, rather than superior thought and effort into a few important things. People who achieve the most are selective as well as determined.
