At Your Best Quotes

“When it comes to time, you and I are rich. In fact, we’re loaded. Time doesn’t discriminate. With the two exceptions of the day you’re born and the day you die, everyone gets exactly the same amount of time every day. Think about the reverberations in your life: If the organization you’re a part of grows to ten times its current size, you won’t get a single extra hour to handle more stress. If you double the size of your family overnight, nobody is going to hand you an eighth day of the week to help you cope (although that would be super nice). If you become CEO of a Fortune 50 company, the universe will not give you a minute more to deal with the pressure. The most productive people on Earth get the same amount of time you and I get. Which also means some people are staggeringly great at handling time. And me? Well, there was room for improvement. A lot of room.”
