A quote from an interview with Eric Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of Alphabet/Google:

How to easily choose what to eat:

Quote I Love

Some books teach to “Live your life like it’s your last day”. What does that even mean? Should you party all day long? Try to do this instead:

Live life like it’s everyone else’s last day — James Altucher

Then you learn to treat everyone with the highest respect. They are dying tomorrow!

Have a great weekend, all
