Don’t treat people as bad as they are. Treat them as good as you are.
You are given the gift of life in order to discover what your gift in life is. You will complete your mission when you figure out what your mission is. This is not a paradox. This is the way.
Avoid hitting the snooze button. That’s just training you to oversleep.
Ignore what others may be thinking of you, because they aren’t.
Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so, billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things, and they don’t. Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money, because they are forced to rely on their passion, persistence and ingenuity to figure out new ways. Being poor is an advantage in innovation.
If you think you saw a mouse, you did. And, if there is one, there are more.
When someone tells you something is wrong, they’re usually right. When someone tells you how to fix it, they’re usually wrong.
Writing down one thing you are grateful for each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever.
To quiet a crowd or a drunk, just whisper.
Even in the tropics it gets colder at night than you think. Pack warmly.
If you borrow something, try to return it in better shape than you received it. Clean it, sharpen it, fill it up.
When playing Monopoly, spend all you have to buy, barter, or trade for the Orange properties. Don’t bother with Utilities.
If you can’t tell what you desperately need, it’s probably sleep.
Your passion in life should fit you exactly; but your purpose in life should exceed you. Work for something much larger than yourself.
Worth repeating: measure twice, cut once.
Contemplating the weaknesses of others is easy; contemplating the weaknesses in yourself is hard, but it pays a much higher reward.
When hitchhiking, look like the person you want to pick you up.
Show me your calendar and I will tell you your priorities. Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you where you’re going.
Always cut away from yourself.
