How to Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen

Clayton Christensen died on January 23rd and this HBR article was pulled from a talk he did on How to Measure your Life. The title of this article may seem a bit heavy, but I strongly encourage investing the fifteen minutes it will take to read it in its entirety. I pulled a few of the compelling statements from the article to entice you.

Here are some of the standout statements:

How can I ensure that my relationship with my family proves to be an enduring source of happiness?

Your decisions about allocating your personal time, energy, and talent ultimately shape your life’s strategy.

…it’s easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time than it is to hold to them 98% of the time. 

…humility was defined not by self-deprecating behavior or attitudes but by the esteem with which you regard others.
