Try to be reasonable in the way you grow,
and don’t ever think it is too late.
It is never too late.
Even if you are going to die tomorrow,
keep yourself straight and clear and be a happy human being today.
If you keep your situation happy day by day,
you will eventually reach the greatest happiness of enlightenment.- Lama Thubten Yeshe

Plenty of men can do good work for a spurt
and with immediate promotion in mind,
but for promotion you want a man
in whom good work has become a habit.

- Henry L. Doherty

Aim for success not perfection…
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.
Confronting your fears and allowing yourself
the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you
a far happier and more productive person.
- Dr. David Burns

What we call creative work,
ought not to be called work at all,
because it isn’t.
I imagine that Thomas Edison
never did a day’s work
in his last fifty years.

-Leacock
