book weekend years
I gauge success in years, not weeks. The weekend box-office approach to book launches is short sighted and encourages crappy books.
years months week
Are you better off than you were one year ago, one month ago, or one week ago? If not, things will not improve by themselves.
years cases bother
Being called a huckster and a charlatan started several years ago, so that's something I'm accustomed to. In most cases, it doesn't bother me.
inspirational sacrifice years
It is predicated on the assumption that you dislike what you are doing during the most physically capable years of your life. This is a nonstarter—nothing can justify that sacrifice.
years adoption investing
I started using Twitter about year after its very early adoption and ended up investing in it around that same time. I'm involved with the Tech scene and companies ranging from Facebook, Stumbleupon and Twitter.
inspirational years class
The golden years become lower-middle-class life revisited. That's a bittersweet ending.
new-year years class
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.
years data people
Resveratrol is fascinating stuff. One of the best sources of information about it is the Immortality Institute. They have a forum where some people are in the 500 Club, as they call it. They've been taking 500 milligrams for years. It's a really great source of data.
hard-work hard
I work hard, but in spurts.
cutting dedication essence
At least three time per day at scheduled times, he had to ask himself the following question: Am I being productive or just active? Charney captured the essence of this with less-abstract wording: Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important? He eliminated all of the activities he used as crutches and began to focus on demonstrating results instead of showing dedication. Dedication is often just meaningless work in disguise. Be ruthless and cut the fat.
work weekend important
Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."
coffee airplane champion
World barista champions use the AeroPress to make coffee on the folding tray tables of airplanes.
driven activity
Work is an activity that is financially-driven or one that you'd like to do less of.
witty fun sake
What I don't like is snark for snark's sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it.
