Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.

Focus on being productive instead of busy.

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?'

People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

The way we measure productivity is flawed. People checking their BlackBerry over dinner is not the measure of productivity.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.
