"What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"I noticed MJ changed his avatar and it displays the following quote.
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche
That's gold.
I figured a "Quote of the Day - QOTD" thread would be a good thing to start. It might even rank high in Google.
"There is no single opportunity that anyone else can give you that is more important for your success than the small daily actions that you have to take every day""What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"

I see at least one new quote every day because I use the Momentum Chrome extension (recommended) and this is what's on there now. It's winter break (and Christmas, Merry Christmas!) so I finally have time to rest and quietly think to myself. In short, I've been thinking / feeling exactly what the quote says. It's time...
Very simple quote, but read it a few times to yourself and maybe you'll feel it too. [HASHTAG]#powerful[/HASHTAG]

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.""It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop"

"The modern mode of marketing is to give""I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”
~ Charlie Munger
