Those who seize the day become seriously rich.

What could you achieve that would make you proud, that no one else could do with the same ease?

80% of the results come from 20% of the causes. A few things are important; most are not.

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 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.

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.

Instead of expending time to train yourself not to be afraid of snakes, avoid them altogether.
