Perfection Is An Impossible Destination

By Using Money As The Scapegoat And Work As Our All-consuming Routine, We Are Able To Conveniently Disallow Ourselves To Do Otherwise: 'john, I'd Love To Talk About The Gaping Void I Feel In My Life, The Hopelessness That Hits Me Like A Punch In The Eye Every Time I Start My Computer In The Morning, But I Have So Much Work To Do! I've Got At Least Three Hours Of Unimportant Email To Reply To Before Calling Prospects Who Said 'no' Yesterday. Gotta Run!

Money Doesn't Change You; It Reveals Who You Are When You No Longer Have To Be Nice.

Just Because Something Has Been A Lot Of Work Or Consumed A Lot Of Time Doesn't Make It Productive Or Worthwhile.

It's Lonely At The Top. Ninety-nine Percent Of People In The World Are Convinced They Are Incapable Of Achieving Great Things, So They Aim For The Mediocre. The Level Of Competition Is Thus Fiercest For "realistic" Goals, Paradoxically Making Them The Most Time-consuming And Energy Consuming. It Is Easier To Raise $10,000,000 Than It Is $1,000,000. It Is Easier To Pick Up The One Perfect 10 In The Bar Than The Five 8s.
