"I live for the moment. I'm basically a Buddhist-type person. I'm just here right now, and I don't think about what's going to happen a hundred years from now. I try to concentrate on what's going on right now. But I'm really trying to run this company like it is going to be here a hundred years from now. That's what's important."

-- Yvon Chouinard

So I believe that happiness is being able to wake up and just know that this is what you wanted, and not what somebody else wanted.”
“Mind is all that counts. You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.”
