The monk who sold his Ferrari. Robin S. Sharma. Selected quotes XVI

-By the time most people figure out what they really want and how to go about attaining it, it's usually too late..
-If youth only knew, if age only could.
-Maybe it is all the pain you suffered in your former life that has allowed you to embrace our wisdom with such an open heart.
-Time is  the great leveller. We all have been allotted days with only twenty four hours.
-It is the busiest people who have time to spare.
-Why are you so rigidly bound to convention? Why do you feel that you have to do things the same way as everyone else? Run your own race.
-Have the discipline to focus your time around your priorities. The most meaningful things in your life should never be sacrificed to those that are  the least meaningful.
-Time spent enriching your non-work hours is never a waste.
-The way you act at home affects the way you act at work. The way you treat people at the office affects the way you will treat your family and friends.
-Eighty percent of the results you achieve in your life come from only twenty percent of the activities that occupy your time. Out of all of the hundreds of activities you give your time to, only twenty percent of those will yield real, lasting results. Only twenty percent of what you do will have an influence on the quality of your life. These are the high-impact activities.
-Direct all of your time to those activities that count. Enlightened people are priority driven.
-Don't let others steal your time. Be wary of time thieves. You must be ruthless with your time. Learn to say no. having the courage to say no to the little things in life will give you the power to say yes to the big things.
-Ironically, people will respect you more when they see that you are a person who values this time.
