“I saw a television sketch that, with some variations, might seem familiar in many households. A husband is watching television and his wife if trying to engage him in conversation: Wife: Dear, the plumber didn’t come to fix the leak behind the water heater today. Husband: Uh-huh. Wife: The pipe burst today and flooded the basement. Husband: Quiet. It’s third down and goal to go. Wife: Some of the wiring got wet and almost electrocuted Fluffy. Husband: Darn it! Touchdown. Wife: The vet says he’ll be better in a week. Husband: Can you get me a Coke? Wife: The plumber told me that he was happy that our pipe broke because now he can afford to go on vacation. Husband: Aren’t you listening? I said I could use a Coke! Wife: And Stanley, I’m leaving you. The plumber and I are flying to Acapulco in the morning. Husband: Can’t you please stop all that yakking and get me a Coke? The trouble around here is that nobody ever listens to me. 5.” ― John C.

Third, prioritizing causes us to do things that are at the least uncomfortable and sometimes downright painful.”

“En lugar de compararse con otros, enfóquese en ser lo mejor que pueda ser.”

“Pain prompts us to face who we are and where we are. What we do with that experience defines who we become.”

“Before you attempt to set things right, make sure you see things right.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who want to get things done and those who don’t want to make mistakes.”

“If you pair excellence with humility, people not only won’t run over you, they will respect you.”

“What you believe identifies who you are.”
