Draining......................................

      Each and every incomplete thing in your life or work exerts a draining force on you, sucking the energy of accomplishment and success out of you as surely as a vampire stealing your blood.  Every incomplete promise, commitment, or agreement saps your strength because it blocks your momentum and chokes off your ability to move forward, progress, or improve.  Incomplete things keep calling you back to the past to take care of them.
-Jeff Olson, as excerpted from The Slight Edge:  Turning Simple Disciplines Into Massive Success & Happiness

Good for them...............................

"Most of us will never see $1 billion in our lives. But that’s just about how much Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated in 2013, topping the list of the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s latest compilation of America’s most generous donors."

"Zuckerberg and Chan gave their gift, in the form of 18 million Facebook shares valued at about $990 million at the time of donation, to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Over the past two years, the couple has donated about $1.5 billion in shares to the organization."

As excerpted from here.

"Whether you are flying the Atlantic, selling sausages, building a skyscraper, driving a truck, or painting a picture, your greatest power comes from the fact that you want tremendously to do that very thing well.  And a thing well done usually works out to the benefit of others as well as yourself.  This applies to sport, business, friendship."
-Amelia Earhart
