Tim Ferriss asked actor/producer B.J. Novak an interesting question:

“How do you repeatedly choose the right fork in the road?” said Tim, alluding to Novak’s charmed career, which includes The Office, Inglourious Basterds, and numerous other mega-successful projects.

Novak gave an interesting answer:

“Any time I’m telling myself, ‘But I’m making so much money,’ that’s a warning sign that I’m doing the wrong thing,” he said.  

“Ah,” agreed Ferriss. 

“Money can always be regenerated,” said B.J. “Time and reputation cannot.”
