I really like the quote above, I am going to add it to my succes quotes page. Here is another I like:

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams
and endeavors to live the life he has imagined,
he will meet with success unimagined in common hours.
-Thoreau

beautiful quote.

Schweitzer was a true humanist. A man of arts, medicine, spirituality + MUSIC.

His 2 volume study on the life of Bach is a testament of Love.

worth repeating here -

Quote:

you will be successful."

so so true.

My favorite, from Mans Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, is

Don’t aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a courses greater than oneself.

I have this exact same quote on a hanging cloth in my office. The one I have attributes the quote to Buddha... but regardless of who said it, it's a great quote and I'm glad to have it for quick reference whenever I need a reminder.

some poem i found from some random fella, i can connect

I cannot imagine a life so unbearable
As one to walk with mediocrity
To live as like everybody else
A dull life of conformity
Of obedience to authority
At least those poor souls know of nothing else
But the only reality before them
Why must I know
But never have---
The greatness that I have been awaken to

Very true. It's so much easier to give it your all when it's something you enjoy.
