The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short.
A thoughtful reader sent me the link to a conversation between Arianna Huffington and Sheryl Sandberg, about Arianna Huffington's new book Thrive. (To see an interview I did with Arianna Huffington, look here).

And of everything that I've ever written, that short video story -- with its single sentence, "The days are long, but the years are short" -- seems to resonate most deeply with people.
If you've never seen it, here's my one-minute video, The Years Are Short:
