3 Ideas For Better Habits
The Secret to a Good Life
Ex-Microsoft general manager and writer, Peter Atkins, how to live life.
“Laugh. We’re all going to be dead anyway some day. So while you should try your hardest to make the most of your life, when something funny happens, when you make a mistake, or even (and perhaps especially) when bad things happen, it’s easier if you can laugh about yourself and the world.”

Think Bigger
Self-help author and conman, Napoleon Hill, on becoming successful.
“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

Every Day Is a New Day
American philosopher and essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson, on starting over every single day.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
