Who said you have to hate Monday to Friday so that you get a right to enjoy Saturday and Sunday? It’s nothing but a myth that we all have bought into. There is no concept Monday to Friday for work and a Saturday/Sunday off in nature. It is simply something we all bought into and our education system perpetuates as well.
And because we bought into that myth, we also trapped ourselves in careers that we genuinely hate”

“Who, then, hath failed? That one who tries
To reach life far above his eyes;
Who longs to do the worthiest things,
And 'gainst all difficulties flings
The power and strength that make a man;
That one who would complete what faith began,
But, climbing on, o'ercoming all,
Bursts his strong heart, and reels, to fall
Before some last vast summit still unscaled?
He hath not failed!
There is a triumph in defeat;
And noble sorrow's tears are sweet.
The high heart raptures, though it break
In stress of agony's fierce ache.
Yes, when all strength, all will is spent
In strife where truth and honor both are blent,
The sense of worth, the thought that all
Was risked for good, to stand or fall—
These things turn blackest ruin that may be,
To victory!
Who, then, hath failed? 'Tis he whose deeds
Scorn truth and right; who hears nor heeds
Our fear, our faith, or wrath, or love.
Whose iron ambition strives above
All measures of all good and ill;
A frenzied ego with a poisoned will;
Who gains his joy, his life, his light
In triumphs of a monstrous might!
Though 'neath a world-wide power his shame be veiled,
He, he, hath failed!”

“Who then is the greatest leader? The one who has served the most.”
“Who then is to judge what is good, true, and beautiful? You are. Plato says it is the soul: the proper dimensions and proportions are already stored in our minds, and when we recognize the good, true, and beautiful-- how is it that we do it? It is by anamnesis, the act of recalling what we have seen somewhere before. You must have received an impression of what is right somewhere else, because you recognize it instantly; you don't have to have it analyzed; you don't have to say, "That is beautiful," or "That is ugly"; you welcome it as an old acquaintance. We recognize what is lovely because we have seen it somewhere else, and as we walk through the world, we are constantly on the watch for it with a kind of nostalgia, so that when we see an object or a person that pleases us, it is like recognizing an old friend.”
