Retire from your job but never from meaningful projects. If you want to live a long life, you need eustress, that is, a deep sense of meaning and of contribution to worthy projects and causes, particularly, your intergenerational family.

Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.

Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.

Make specific appointments with yourself to work on goals, and treat an appointment with yourself as you'd treat an appointment with anybody else.

Stop setting goals. Goals are pure fantasy unless you have a specific plan to achieve them.

In the absence of wake-up calls, many of us never really confront the critical issues of life.
