23. There is widespread belief that ruthless and
self-centered people are the most successful
when it comes to their careers. But being
prepared to do anything to get ahead does not
mean you will succeed in your ambitions. True
success is not achieved by those whoa re
smart or inconsiderate, by hard-baked egotists
or psychopathic bosses. On the contrary,
being kind to our fellow human beings is a
precondition to becoming truly successful.
Goodness and kindness are the single most
important factors when it comes to how
successful we will be in our lives.
- Stefan
Einhorn

24. The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonable happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
