"It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential." - Bruce Lee

• If you want to improve your life then it’s tempting to want to add more.
• One problem with this may be that you don’t really have the time or energy to do more though.
• And so your efforts to improve become short-lived.
• Adding more and more just creates more stress and anxiety.
• Removing clutter and activities, tasks and thoughts that are not so important frees up time and energy for you to do more of what you really want to do.
• And as the clutter in your outer world decreases the clutter in your inner world also has a tendency to decrease.
• This has the added benefit of making it easier to actually enjoy whatever you are doing even more while you are doing it.

"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."

• Think and Grow Rich is a classic motivational book.
• Written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie, it was published in 1937 at the end of the Great Depression.
• In his introduction, Hill refers to the "Carnegie Secret", a conception which he reports is the foundation of all success and appears to be the premise of the book.
• Hill promises to indirectly describe this "secret" in every chapter, but never state it plainly, believing the use of the secret is only available to those who possess a "readiness" for it, a disposition Hill describes as essential to the concept itself.
