Some people soften the harshest reality with their presence. How lucky to stumble upon such a soul; how warm they make you feel.

Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity. People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create. Success is not about getting more things done. It's about doing more worthwhile things well.
