“Every time you say yes to something you don’t want to do, this will happen: you will resent people, you will do a bad job, you will have less energy for the things you were doing a good job on, you will make less money, and yet another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke signal to the future saying, “I did it again.”

― James Altucher, Choose Yourself

“arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way.”
