Arguing with people is like reading your e-mail at 4 in the morning. There is absolutely no good that can come of it. It's just scratching an itch.
It's how you view the life inside you that creates the life outside of you. Everyday.
Life is a series of failures punctuated by brief successes
Life is better when your sinuses are clean, when your arteries are clean, and when your digestive tract is clean.
People look for their passions. But often, the passions find you. How does your # passion find you? When you are good at something, you get passionate about it. That’s it.
When you get in the mud with a pig, you get dirty and the pig gets happy.
Robots are the new middle class. And everyone else will either be an entrepreneur or a temp staffer.
Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who dont support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
When the lights come on inside of you, everyone in the world can see a little better.
Life is too long to reject the opportunities in front of you every day.
Do what you do with love, and success is a natural symptom.
You can say no to people who make you feel bad about yourself. To people who backstab you or make you feel anxious in any way.
You can only make money doing what you love.
