"If we are to be half as productive as [[Winston Churchill|Churchill]], and manage to capture the same joy and zest and stillness that defined his life, there are traits we will need to cultivate. Each of us will: • **Rise above our physical** limitations. • **Find hobbies** that rest and replenish us. • Develop a **reliable, disciplined routine**. • Spend time **getting active** outdoors. • **Seek out solitude** and perspective. • **Learn to sit**—to do nothing when called for. • **Get enough sleep** and rein in our workaholism. • Commit to **causes bigger than ourselves**."
