Forget the whole world and focus on your world

Some people dream of “making it big,” dreaming of starting the next Facebook or Google. Poor people fantasize about becoming very wealthy. I think this is misplaced focus.

I prefer to live in and think about a much smaller world:

  • Being of service to family and friends and enjoying their company 
  • Being of value to coworkers and customers
  • Providing value and entertainment to people who read my books
  • Getting a lot of exercise and eating great food, in small portions
  • Enjoy reading great books and watching great movies

Yes, that is enough for me. I leave changing the world for other people.
