I’ve always loved quotes, and over about the past 2 years have been collecting those quotes that I’ve come across that just “clicked” with me. You know, those quotes you read, and you don’t need to have had personal experience with it to just know it’s true.

I try, mostly unsuccessfully, to read a quote every night and just think, or meditate, about it before going to sleep at night. Try to internalize it.
The reason I don’t do it in the morning to get me started on my day, is that as soon as I start my day, I’m distracted immediately by my work, and whatever I’ve read is completely out my mind. I’m a guy, I can’t think of more than one thing at a time

So, what I want to do is commit myself to posting a “quote of the night” every evening (South African time), so that, a) in case anyone is interested they can subscribe to the quote of the night I myself will be pondering on and b) so that I don’t forget for myself to keep up with it.

So… without further ado, the first quote of the night is.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
- Albert Einstein
