1. everyone having an ultimate goal in life, but most of us are too afraid to pursue it. P 269

2. “Do no harm to others. Be true to yourself.” To me, being a good human being, and the way to true inner happiness, is through altruistic actions, being mindful of others. I believe that to find contentment and to be at peace with yourself, you must have a positive impact on anyone you interact with each day. You also must not allow others’ negative energy to lessen or alter you; you should stay true to your beliefs. P 270

3. I came across a quote by the Dalai Lama recently that deeply spoke to me and the way I wish to live my life: “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” P 270

4. Five or six years ago, I decided that I was going to live my life in three parts—one-third for my business, one-third for my family, one-third for myself. The distinction and prioritization helps me to find balance and contentment in each area. It has become very easy to say no now. . . . If something does not add meaning or fun to one segment, then I don’t participate. P 271

5. The more you divide your focus, the more each endeavor can suffer from your lack of attention. P 271
