Providing care is every bit as important as providing cash.

Celebrate idleness. Yes, idleness! Our greatest insights and discoveries have come not when we are doubling down staring at a computer screen, but when we sit back, rub our eyes, go for a walk, read a book or give our children a bath. Isaac Newton did not discover gravity in a laboratory. He was sitting under a tree.

Judge work by the quality of what they produce, not the number of hours they put in. Stand up for play — for the leisure that will renew and recharge you. Stand up for love. Stand up for each other.
