Installment #2 from the book of short thoughts, loaned to me by Margaret Cramer last week:  "How many days of the week can be extraordinary?  7!", written and compiled by Dan Zadra &Kobi Yamada:

"For the past 30 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked, 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today'. And whenever the answer has been 'no' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

~ Steve Jobs, Apple Chairman, from a commencement speech of Stanford University

"Someday is not a Day of the Week"

*

"A USA Today poll asked Americans, 'How busy are you?' The majority replied, 'I am busier today than I was last year, and I was busier last year than I was the year before. And I sacrifice friends, family and sleep for my success.'

"When Americans were asked, 'What would you do if you had an 8-day week instead of a 7-day week?' Most, unfortunately, did not answer with things like:  'I would play with my kids. I'd get to know my neighbors. I would enjoy a hobby that's rewarding and relaxing. I would spend more time with friends.' Instead, most answered that the would use the extra time to catch up at work."
