Know what counts and what doesn't

"Doing something useful with your life counts."

“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” - Socrates

“It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.” - Evander Holyfield

“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.” - Seneca

“Don't count the days - make the days count.”

“Life's like a play; it's not the length but the excellence of the acting that matters” - Seneca

"Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts." - Denis Waitley

“Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.” - Albert Einstein

“The things that count most cannot be counted.”

"Think about what you do that counts - and do more of it."

Well said,

Life is like a game of chess, you make the wrong move then you live your life wrong, but if you make the right move then glory will be yours :)

Hi Dave,
That is a beautiful analogy!

I love chess game. In a chess game, one have to evaluate many moves ahead to know whether the next move is really beneficial or counts!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
