Chapter one: What determines your priorities?
If you want to make good use of your time, you’ve got to know what’s most important and then give it all you’ve got. Lee Iacocca
As we consider our priorities, we need to understand that our priorities are what we ought to be doing.

"I do not particularly like the word 'work.' Human beings are the only animals who have to
