More than any other factor, it is the people we have to deal with that determine the quality of our work lives.

The noble path does win but only if you are prepared to make the investment over a long period of time.

When did you feel most fulfilled? When did you impress yourself, or otherwise feel most proud of yourself?

Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. Act like a true professional, aiming for true excellence, and the money will follow.

Professional is not a label you give yourself - it's a description you hope others will apply to you.

More than any other factor, it is the people we have to deal with that determine the quality of our work lives.

Don't get stampeded by what people around you value. The task is to figure out what YOU value - and value highly enough to throw yourself into with unqualified passion.
