Letter 1: On saving time

  1. The only thing which is really yours is time. Don't fucking waste it.
  2. Time can be converted in anything: knowledge, money, connection, health etc.
  3. You are dying every day, the candle of your life is half burnt.

  5. Focus first on effectiveness and only second on efficiency.
