“Pay attention to every person who crosses your path today. They are there for a reason.”

“A rich social life (measured by quality of experience rather than quantity of friends) contributes to good health, happiness and longevity. So many of us place value on hard work, measurable achievement and wealth, and often fail to set aside time to nurture our relationships and strengthen social ties. We make the mistake of believing that security is found in material things rather than people.”

“The secret to hygge lies in paying attention to the rhythm of our daily lives, the people we choose to spend time with, the things we use and the activities we undertake that give life value and meaning.”

“At the heart of hygge is a willingness to set aside time for simply being with people, and, ideally, having all the time in the world for them. Hygge is a vehicle for showing that we care. It’s a way of paying attention to our children or partners and friends in the messy reality of the here and now, and putting down the distractions that pull us in different directions. So many of us are drawn to a virtual world of connectivity. Hygge isn’t about a life without technology, but it asks us to balance our commitments and remember the value of human interaction, conversation and physical intimacy. It liberates us to fully inhabit the moment without feeling compelled to record it.”

“There are two kinds of people: goal-oriented and ego-oriented. Goal-oriented people work together and get things gone. Ego-oriented people don’t work.”

“Some people are like popcorn: they will only succeed when under heat or pressure.”

“Stairs to success are made of people.”

“We are only as great as the least among us.”

“It’s easy to reach the top. You have to bow.”

“When you know people, and those people know what you do, success knows how to find you.”

“Our future success is directly proportional to our ability to understand, adopt and integrate new technology into our work.”

“Earlier adopters will be ultimate winners.”

“Unataka kufanikiwa lakini hutaki watu wakuone. Kama una kipaji kionyeshe kwa watu.”

“People drink democracy in a glass of teabut night falls, again.”

“Getting to know experienced people is the best leisure time you can have.”
