Balance in the Air

A couple very recent quotes on balancing your life from two of my favorite bloggers:

“5. People have only so much toleration for novelty in them; no one embraces novelty consistently and in all fields of life. Spend your tolerance for novelty wisely.” – Tyler Cowen

23.”Running a startup is full of extreme ups and downs. Which is why so many successful and happy entrepreneurs I know lead such normal, stable, unglamorous, “boring”, family-centered lives. Somehow they need the latter in order to balance out the former.” – Hugh MacLeod
