68. Today, Mr. Honda's company is one of the most successful in the world. Honda Corporation now employs over 100,000 people in the US and Japan and outsells all but Toyota cars in the U.S. - all because Mr. Honda never gave up. He never let problems or circumstances get in his way. He decided that there is always a way to succeed if you're really committed.

Editor's Notes
How many of us understand the power of a real decision, are you someone who, once decided, would not give up. Could you honestly say that you would never allow problems, challenges, or the twists and turns of circumstances to get in your way once you’ve decided on a goal? Would view you those obstacles as just mere hurdles and how many obstacles would it take before your stamina was depleted?
Fewer words of absolute truth have seldom been spoken. It's entirely true: everyone's got to make a living, one way or another. Most of us have 9 to 5's. Even homeless people pickup cans and cash in bottles. Stay at home Moms have the toughest gig of all. Chicks on welfare do hair and sell crabs. Folks in the mountains sling OxyContin. Even a lazy assed dude who mooches off women has to expend energy charming these young ladies into helping him stay cozy and unemployed. It is emphatically true. Everyone's got to make a living. But is your job just a way to get paid, or is it something larger? Is your job something you really enjoy doing? Does it benefit society? Does your job fulfill some inner need? Is it more than just work, and if not, is it getting you anywhere? The question I have for all of you is, is your career simply about the 1st and 15th, or is there some greater need being satisfied? Are you using it for all it’s worth beyond a paycheck?
