It isn't enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder; don't work harder.

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

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

I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

That's precisely the question everyone should be asking-why the hell not? - Why not you, why not now.

Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.

Luxury, to me, is not owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.

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

Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

Speaking from the heart is simple. Listening wholeheartedly, however, is much, much more difficult and most rare.

He told me once that he didn't fear conscription as much as everyone else because the dozen bloodthirsty girls he was leaving behind were far more dangerous.

He was one of those men whose constitutional inability to make small talk forfeits all one's sympathy and makes one think that social grace is sometimes a moral duty.

Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on time. The trick is to always keep the engine running.

You can be anything you want, but when you go against who you are inside, it doesn't feel good.

Love you all the time, 'cause when I close my eyes, I still can see your smile, it's bright enough to light my life

That's the nice thing about insanity: evil people kill you, but crazy ones try to make you understand.

My dad has never once told me after a fight that I did well.

Better a square foot of New York than all the rest of the world in a lump - better a lamppost on Broadway than the brightest star in the sky.
