success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right. - Gary W. Keller

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls — family, health, friends, integrity — are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

vital few and trivial many.

We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.
