er task you undertake. Whether you're splitting logs or sipping Boodles, do it well. I do not believe that there is anything magical about an 8 hour workday or a 40 hour work week.

Calling an activity "work" or "play" is just another label, and usually, a self-fulfilling prophecy. I prefer to smash the two together whenever possible.
Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs)
A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension.
Blowing out another's candle, will not make yours shine any brighter. It only darkens the whole room.
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
