Want Nothing

-
Think about the richest of all; they still can’t buy respect from their employees, love from their family, and more time to enjoy their lives. The most affluent care more about their time than money; they know it is more precious and scarce. So, once you start caring about your time, decide what you want to do with it.
-
Change what it is that you want. That doesn’t mean you have to be less ambitious. What it means is that you care about only a few things that you genuinely desire.
-
There are a lot of things that you might want, but you hardly need them. You know you’ll be equally satisfied without it. It’s better to put what you already have to good use. So, want nothing and do anything, and you’ll have everything.
