“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both. —James Michener”

“Many years ago Rudyard Kipling gave an address at McGill University in Montreal. He said one striking thing which deserves to be remembered. Warning the students against an over-concern for money, or position, or glory, he said: “Some day you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.” —Halford E. Luccock”

“Playing it safe is like body surfing in two feet of water. You may not drown, but you’re also not in deep enough to catch any but the most meager of waves. The most dangerous strategy is to play it safe. In its place, Break-It Thinkers take risks and break rules and challenge convention, making change an ally.” —Robert Kriegel 2”

“It’s not just what you do in a job or your business that will identify you as a success or a failure. Not having “date nights” or saying, “I love you” daily will put your marriage at risk of failure. Spending sixty-five hours a week at your job will put your emotional well-being at risk of failure. Eating Twinkies and Big Macs and not exercising will put your health at risk of failure. Financing a car or paying more than the equivalent of one month’s income in cash will put your financial health at risk of failure.”
