1. Happiness is like a bird that lands on your ship when you sail in sunny and calm waters. You can’t catch it, nor can you chase it, but you can provide the conditions that favor it.

4. "Treat yourself” sometimes means getting bothersome and painfully boring stuff done, so you can actually relax without feeling bad about procrastinating.

11. A silent apology is not actually an apology.
