Quote of the day

"What counts is not the number of hours you put in, but how much you put in the hours."
-God's Little Instruction Book
(Quote referring to Ecclesiastes 9:10a)
How much you do isn't really important. It is the quality of what you are doing. My mother always used to tell me that when I am practicing piano, it would be better to just do 5 minutes as long as the quality is great. Of course, she always ended up making me do more than that anyway, but she opened up my mind to the thought of this. Think about it- if you spent 3 hours on a report or really anything, but you just did it lightly and without really thinking. Do you think you got much done? If you did, what was the quality of it? Now think about this- if you spent only one hour on that report but really put in effort and you are totally focused, how do you think you did now? 
Give your life some quality. Don't just sit there! Use your hours to help better your community, or really reach out to try to help better the world! Our time on earth is short. Make with these hours what you will, but give each of them the quality of a lifetime.
