Rome Wasn't Built In A Day
A complex or ambitious task is bound to take a long time and should not be rushed.
Create Ideas With Solitude
Spend some time in solitude to think about and create ideas, make plans or goals, and come up with solutions to solve your problems.
- Like many inventors and creative types, Nikola Tesla was an advocate for solitude when creating and working.
- Most famously, he's quoted as saying "The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude.
- No big laboratory is needed in which to think.
- Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind.
- Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born."
Don't Criticize Or Condemn
"Don't criticize, condemn, or complain." - Dale Carnegie
- Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself.
- Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
- Instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them.
- Let's try to figure out why they do what they do.
- That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.
- "To know all is to forgive all."
Share Wisdom Over Knowledge
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. - Miles Kington

Keep A Log List
Keep a dated list of tasks and projects you have completed and random things you have done, because looking back on your achievements or even little events from your life may provide a sense of accomplishment and purpose.
- There's something to be said for seeing how much you've gotten done at the end of the day.
- You know how satisfying it is to cross out items on your to do list, and then look back at the list to see everything you completed?
- A "done" list, or "anti-to-do list" as Marc Andreessen calls it, works in a similar fashion: you simply take note of each thing you get done during the day.
- Start out with the date and just list your "done" items underneath.
- Not only will this help you review your productivity at the end of each day and make you feel better about what you got done, but it can be really useful to keep around as a work log.
- You might want to look back in weeks or months to come to see what you were working on or how long a project took to complete.

Choose To Be Happy
Choose to be happy with your current situation and life, as research has shown happiness may come down to your attitude and perception, not our faulty estimation of what we think we want, even big changes like getting a dream job, goal, partner, or money.
- Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, challenges the idea that we'll be miserable if we don't get what we want.
- Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don't go as planned.

Two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity...But that just might be me being stupid. - Albert Einstein
Pareto Principle
80% of the result comes from 20% of your time, work, or activities, so realize that 80% could be good enough for many tasks or goals by focusing on the essential 20% of your habits and activities.
- This is one of the best ways to make better use of your time.
- The 80/20 rule - also known as The Pareto Principle - basically says that 80 percent of the value you will receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
- So a lot of what you do is probably not as useful or even necessary to do as you may think.
- You can just drop - or vastly decrease the time you spend on - a whole bunch of things.

80% of the results will often come from 20% of the causes, so focus on finding the vital few inputs or actions that will provide the most benefit or effect.
- The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few").
- Other names for this principle are the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity.
- Management consultant Joseph M. Juran developed the concept in the context of quality control and improvement after reading the works of Italian sociologist and economist Vilfredo Pareto, who wrote about the 80/20 connection while teaching at the University of Lausanne.
- In his first work, Cours d'économie politique, Pareto showed that approximately 80% of the land in the Kingdom of Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
Write A List Of Goals
Write down a list of your goals and dreams, because writing thoughts and ideas down is the first step to making them come to life.
- A list of your short and long-term goals can be a great motivator, as well as a trigger list to help generate new projects.
- I also like to have a list of areas of focus, the different roles that I play, each of which comes with a different set of tasks and goals.
