Success
Quotes - Do ordinary things extraordinarily well
“It
was ironic, but when you scratched the surface, most successful men were
working for one thing only--to retire--and the sooner the better. Whereas women
were the complete opposite. She had never heard a woman say she was working so
she could retire to a desert island or to live on a boat. It was probably, she
thought, because most women didn't think they deserved to do nothing.”

“Success
for a woman means absolute surrender, in whatever direction. Whether she paints
a picture, or loves a man, there is no division of labor possible in her
economy. To the attainment of any end worth living for, a symmetrical sacrifice

“The
concern of man is not his future but his present, not the world but his soul.
We must be just, we must strive, we must engage ourselves with the business of
the world for our own sake, because through that, and through contemplation in
equal measure, our soul is purified and brought closer to the divine. ...
Thought and deed conjoined are crucial. ... The attempt must be made; the
outcome is irrelevant. Right action is a pale material reflection of the
divine, but reflection it is, nonetheless. Define your goal and exert reason to
accomplish it by virtuous action; successs or failure is secondary.”

Iain Pears, The Dream of Scipio
“Ideas
and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they
will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished
you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new
ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old
ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life
has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.”

“If
you are a success in life, there are places you must go and pay to be
humiliated. It is an unwritten law that human beings must be tormented
throughout their lives in one way or another. If you are fortunate enough to
have risen to a social level where no one does it to you for free, then you
must pay for the service. ”

“So
throw off all desires, remove all the dust from your eyes, be at ease within,
not longing for something, not even for God. Every longing is the same, whether
for a big car, or God, or a big house, makes no difference. Longing is the
same. Don’t long – just be. Don’t even look – just be! Don’t think! Let this
moment be there, and you in it, and suddenly you have everything – because life
is there. Suddenly everything starts showering on you, and then this moment
becomes eternal and then there is no time. It is always the now. It never ends,
never begins. But then you are in it, not an outsider. You have entered the
whole, you have recognized who you are.”
