Quotes:

\\u201cI set really big goals for myself.\\u201d

\\u201cIf a task is perceived to be unimportant, it will take enormous amounts of time to complete. Conversely, if a task is perceived to be important, it will get done soon. Sometimes immediately depending on how important and urgent the task is.\\u201d

\\u201c... think about how we\'re spending our time. Are we spending our time on the things that we really want to be spending it on?\\u201d

\\u201cLife in general in our world with limitless options, limitless books to read, limitless clothes to wear, a limitless path to take it is extremely important to be picky.\\u201d
