The leaders we revere and the businesses that last are generally not the result of a narrow pursuit of popularity or personal advancement, but of devotion to some bigger purpose. That's the hallmark of real success. The other trapping of success might be the by product of this larger mission, but it can't be the central thing. —Barack Obama More about this quote Tags: success Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy. It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started. —Barack Obama More about this quote Tags: success Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve. —Barack Obama More about this quote Tags: success Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
