Regarding Accomplishment

The Russell Museum - Perhaps the crowning achievement of my entire life. After this, I truly feel like I can do anything. The hardest work I have ever done also happens to be the most rewarding work. Imagine that?

​If I have one piece of advice for the young it is this: Don't ever think that life should be easy. For if it was, it would never be rewarding. Your discontent with the world isn't the fault of your parents, politicians, the government, or God, but rather your failure to work hard for what you truly desire. No man or woman who ever made something of themselves did so without hard work. Effort is the result of one's willpower to act in the face of uncertainty and possible failure. With hard work also comes self-esteem. They go hand in hand. As long as men are free, excuses will never lessen the discontent of your own inaction. Your life is your own. Now live it!
