This isn't a countdown. It's a portfolio.

A consumer asks of an hour: what do I feel like right now? An investor asks: what will this hour be worth later? You can't add to the total — but you decide what every remaining hour is spent on. That's the whole practice.

An exceptional life is not found. It is practiced.
