People are smarter than you think. Give them a chance to prove themselves.

The golden years become lower-middle-class life revisited. That's a bittersweet ending.

I really feel like knife skills - not just in the kitchen, but in life - are really critical.

The reason I was successful in launching my first book with bloggers is this: I assumed that I should spend as much time on a blogger with a million-person readership as I would pitching an editor of a publication with a million person subscription-base.

The best results I have had in my life; the most enjoyable times, have all come from asking the simple question: 'What is the worst that could happen?'

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 value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
