Happiness Doesn’t Care How You Get There
— from <i>How to Retire Happy, Wild and Free</i>

You are fooling yourself whenever you think you are productive just
because you have worked fourteen hours in a day.
You will be truly productive when you do the same amount of work in
four hours, and take the other ten hours to enjoy the good things
life has to offer.
— from <i>The Lazy Person's Guide to Success</i>

Do It Badly — But at Least Do It!
— from <i>Career Success Without a Real Job</i>

You can always make up in creativity what you lack in good fortune. Playing the game of life is like playing poker. Playing three aces badly won't get you as far as playing a terrible hand well.
— from <i>The Lazy Person’s Guide to Success </i>

If you're in a hurry to find happiness, slow down. Give it a chance to catch up with you.
