Dale Carnegie quote: "One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today."

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
