"Most people miss their whole lives, you know. Listen, life isn't when you are standing on top of a mountain looking at a sunset. Life isn't waiting at the alter or the moment your child is born or that time you were swimming in a deep water and a dolphin came up alongside you. These are fragments. 10 or 12 grains of sand spread throughout your entire existence. These are not life. Life is brushing your teeth or making a sandwich or watching the news or waiting for the bus. Or walking. Every day, thousands of tiny events happen and if you're not watching, if you're not careful, if you don't capture them and make them COUNT, your could miss it. You could miss your whole life."

"أغلب الناس يغفلون عن حياتهم بأكملها، أتدري؟ اسمع، الحياة ليست وقوفك على قمة جبل تتأمل غروب الشمس. ليست انتظارك عند المذبح، أو لحظة ولادة طفلك، أو تلك المرة التي كنت تسبح فيها في مياه عميقة فجاء دولفين يسبح بجانبك. هذه مجرد شذرات. عشر أو اثنتا عشرة حبة رمل مبعثرة على مدى وجودك كله. هذه ليست الحياة. الحياة هي تنظيف أسنانك، أو إعداد شطيرة، أو مشاهدة الأخبار، أو انتظار الحافلة. أو المشي. كل يوم، تتوالى آلاف التفاصيل الدقيقة، وإن لم تكن منتبهاً، وإن لم تكن حذراً، وإن لم تلتقطها وتمنحها أهمية، فقد تفوّتها. قد تفوّت حياتك بأكملها."
