BATB lingering thought: your best excuse to say no to anything is “No, thank you. I’m going to die one day.”

Best quotes: “You feel regretful about the past, uncertain or hesitant about the present, and apprehensive of the future.”

“If everything’s important, nothing is.”

“Only a few things every day are truly urgent. Learn to separate real deadlines from imaginary ones.”

“Heroes are just ordinary people who worry about all the things they hadn’t done.”
