About This Quote

Highs and lows make you feel that things matter, but they're nothing. People tend to think that highs and lows are the only thing that matters in life. But this is not true. Successful people know that things like their social status or whether or not they get married or have children are minor details.

What really matters is how you spend your time. If you spend your time mindlessly, it doesn't really matter if you're rich or poor, married or single, happy or sad. Highs and lows are nothing because your mind will soon move on to something else.
