We talk about saving time and killing time when actually we can't do either. We have no choice but to spend it at a constant and flowing rate.

As for worrying about what other people might think - forget it. They aren't concerned about yours. They're too busy worrying about what you and other people think of theirs.

An asset allocation plan is based on your personal circumstances, goals, time-horizon, and need and willingness to take risk.

All of us live at the feeling level, and our feelings are in large part a result of the way we perceive things. You observe or are told something, you interpret it, and only then do you have a reaction at the feeling level.

Every company's greatest assets are its customers, because without customers there is no company.

Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life.

When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them. Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time. Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools.

A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.

The ultimate goal of a more effective and efficient life is to provide you with enough time to enjoy some of it.

It's important for you to understand that stock and bonds go up-and they go down. You need to be comfortable with that fact.

Knowing nothing about investing might be a benefit. You won't have to unlearn many popular beliefs propagated by Wall Street and the media that aren't true.
