Quotes from the same author
Use all the willpower at your disposal to make yourself happy. Construct the right stories about yourself - and believe them!
Richard Koch
Few people take objectives really seriously. They put average effort into too many things, rather than superior thought and effort into a few important things. People who achieve the most are selective as well as determined.
Richard Koch
There is no rush. If we think intelligently about what we can achieve with our time, we can be relaxed, even lazy. In fact, being lazy - having plenty of time to think - may actually be a precondition for achieving a great deal.
Richard Koch
There is no shortage of time. In fact, we are positively awash with it. We only make good use of 20 per cent of our time.... The 80/20 principle says that if we doubled our time on the top 20% of activities, we could work a two-day week and achieve 60 per cent more than now.
Richard Koch
What could you achieve that would make you proud, that no one else could do with the same ease?
Richard Koch
