Success building..

  • Ironically, at the same time society insists that you do one thing with your life, those same cultural norms pressure you to have a "balanced" life split into neat little slices.
  • You don't have to make a career of everything that is meaningful to you, but you do need to find a place for everything that is meaningful to you. That's the balance that you are seeking..
  • Carve out a little time each week, one the job or after work, to experiment in some way with one of your other passions..
  • The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorabe, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you lived and lived well..
  • To ask them why they are still working is to dismiss their passions as trivial pursuits.We made that mistake more than once in our interviews. It seemed an innocent question, but only served to demonstrate that we didnot get it..
  • If there was one thing they all do consistently - one value that they all share in common - it is integrity to what matters to them..
  • Each of us has to struggle in our own in our own individual way to achieve a measurement of success.
  • As it turns out, all of the stories of enduringly successful people have some improbable quality to them.
  • Those who donot know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either.
  • It is like the wizart of Oz. We're looking for a wizard seeking a heart, a brain, courage and the wizard says you already have these things. All you need to do is to use it. When you believe in your great indomitable self, then all things are possible.
  • Happy ending come from listening to that little voice inside your head - some call it the whisper about what matters to you.
  • Ultimately, no form of aquisition (having) or activity (doing) can astingy deliver what we long for, the authentic experience of being fully alive.
  • Do you care more about being loved than being what you love?
  • Enduringly successful people have concluded that their commitment to the service of others is also in their self interest.
  • Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone's else's life..
  • In order for you to do what matters in a way that you are healthy, you can't pretend or deaden out like a machine- to steel yourself doesnot work. You have to feel everything and use it.
  • Your personality is not what determines enduring success; it is what you do with your personality that counts.
  • If it's worth doing then for heaven's sake treat it as if it's worth doing..
  • Life take passion, determinination and skill. Rice cautioned.. You can't skip any of those three and expect to enjoy success built to.. LAST..
