words to live by

“December is the toughest month of the year. Others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, October, August, and February.”

—Attributed to Mark Twain (no one seems to know for sure if he actually said this, but in any case it’s a good line)

Efficiency is highly overrated; goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.
