“Because, as we all know, it’s easier to do trivial things that are urgent than it is to do important things that are not urgent, like thinking. And it’s also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start on big things that we’re not so sure about.”
“We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.”
“We are enriched not by what we possess, but by what we can do without.”
