More quotes by Tim Ferriss
Being able to quit things that don't work is integral to being a winner
Tim Ferriss
Lacking an external focus, the mind turns inward on itself and creates problems to solve, even if the problems are undefined or unimportant. If you find a focus, an ambitious goal that seems impossible and forces you to grow, these doubts disappear.
Tim Ferriss
The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is boredom.
Tim Ferriss
Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.
Tim Ferriss
For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.
Tim Ferriss
Simplicity requires ruthlessness.
Tim Ferriss
Everything that works in sales has been done already. Just keep track of the crap that you buy, or the awesome stuff that you buy, and decide what was the trigger, and then just sell to people like you. It's really that easy - and that's what I do.
Tim Ferriss
There is always more information than attention
Tim Ferriss
I will take as a given that, for most people, somewhere between six and seven billion of them, the perfect job is the one that takes the least time.
Tim Ferriss
It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor. The choice is between multiplication of results using strenths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre. Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.
Tim Ferriss
I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.
Tim Ferriss
For the employee, the goal is to have full access to necessary information and as much independent decision-making ability as possible. For the entrepreneur, the goal is to grant as much information and independent decision-making ability to employees or contractors as possible.
Tim Ferriss
Everyone is going to binge on a diet, for instance, so plan for it, schedule it, and contain the damage.
Tim Ferriss
The problem with New Year's resolutions - and resolutions to 'get in better shape' in general, which are very amorphous - is that people try to adopt too many behavioral changes at once. It doesn't work. I don't care if you're a world-class CEO - you'll quit.
Tim Ferriss
I'm prepared to do battle for a dream that is worth dreaming.
Tim Ferriss
The most important actions are never comfortable.
Tim Ferriss
To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.
Tim Ferriss
The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.
Tim Ferriss
The book is first and foremost something I made for myself.
Tim Ferriss
Happiness has a very short half-life.
