The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball or the theater or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.
