3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Exceptional people are rare. When you find someone wonderful, invest in them.
- When you find a great employee, pay them well.
- When you find a great friend, prioritize the relationship.
- When you find a great spouse, out-love them each day.
Relationships are probably the most important part of life. Take care of the great ones.”
II.
“You must be willing to let go of the last action and pour yourself fully into the next action.”
III.
“The problem with keeping your options open is that every option requires energy to hold. And a shelf full of maybes is often heavier than a hand holding one yes. Put something down.”
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Philosopher Lao Tzu on happiness: “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
Source: Tao Te Ching
II.
The psychologist Abraham Maslow on maturity:
“The most mature human beings are also childlike. That is not as contradictory as it sounds. The most mature people are the ones who can have the most fun.
They are able to regress at will; they can become childish and play with children and be close to them. It is no accident, I think, that children generally tend to like them and get along with them.
Involuntary regression is of course a very dangerous thing; but voluntary regression seems to be characteristic of very healthy people.”
