Everyone is going to binge on a diet, for instance, so plan for it, schedule it, and contain the damage.

Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!

Rather than spend my life on data entry and typing, I also take photos on my iPhone of business cards, wine labels, menus, or anything I want to have searchable on-the-run.

The goal is not to simply eliminate the bad, which does nothing more than leave you with a vacuum, but to pursue and experience the best in the world.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of mental laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Are you better off than you were one year ago, one month ago, or one week ago? If not, things will not improve by themselves.

I will take as a given that, for most people, somewhere between six and seven billion of them, the perfect job is the one that takes the least time.
