 | Thinkingology (0) 05/21/2008 | I love this quote. It is way too easy to try and measure success by looking at others' achievements, and this puts things in perspective. Your neighbour may have done something twice as fast as you, but if it cost him nothing and cost the world to you, then this is what should matter. The journey, not the destination. You can't compare destinations.

 | abichara (63) 05/21/2006 | Yes, but likewise, as Christ said, what's the point of gaining the world if you've sold your soul in the process. It all depends on what you're giving up. There's no price for selling yourself and your reputation to gain everything. At the end of the day, money and power count for nothing. It's your reputation that people will remember you by.
