From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths.

Its tempting to work more than 60 hours a week and sacrifice sleep, not move, and eat bad foods as they are convenient. But this comes with a cost.

Even if people just change two or three things that they are able to sustain over time, it makes quite a difference eventually.

Far too many people spend a lifetime headed in the wrong direction. They go not only from the cradle to the cubicle, but then to the casket, without uncovering their greatest talents and potential.

Spending on oneself does not boost wellbeing. However, spending money on others does -- and it appears to be as important to people's happiness as the total amount of money they make.

If you spend your life trying to be good at everything, you will never be great at anything.
