The Foremost Reason That Happiness Is So

Sir John Templeton: "my Ethical Principle In The First Place Was: 'where Could I Use My Talents That God Gave Me To Help The Most People?'"

Whether We Like It Or Not, Each Of Us Is Constrained By Limits On What We Can Do And Feel. To Ignore These Limits Leads To Denial And Eventually To Failure. To Achieve Excellence, We Must First Understand The Reality Of The Everyday, With All Its Demands

Our Jobs Determine To A Large Extent What Our Lives Are Like. Is What You Do For A Living Making You Ill? Does It Keep You From Becoming A More Fully Realized Person? Do You Feel Ashamed Of What You Have To Do At Work? All Too Often, The Answer To Such Questions Is Yes. Yet It Does Not Have To Be Like That. Work Can Be One Of The Most Joyful, Most Fulfilling Aspects Of Life. Whether It Will Be Or Not Depends On The Actions We Collectively Take.

Creativity Is Any Act, Idea, Or Product That Changes An Existing Domain, Or That Transforms An Existing Domain Into A New One What Counts Is Whether The Novelty He Or She Produces Is Accepted For Inclusion In The Domain.

Only Direct Control Of Experience, The Ability To Derive Moment-by-moment Enjoyment From Everything We Do, Can Overcome The Obstacles To Fulfillment.
