In such an environment, I was able to study things that could be of immediate usefulness to the world. That learning experience undoubtedly served me well when I eventually entered the work force.

Getting to have a higher purpose other than just being successful is very necessary for me.

Experience is what you get while looking for something else.

There are a ton of qualities that can help you succeed, and the more carefully a quality has been studied, the more you know it's worth your time and energy.

I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

I aspire to be useful.

What greater bliss than to look back on days spent in usefulness, in doing good to those around us.

Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you're too damned old to do anything about it.

Bottom line: if you show a genuine interest in learning about how others became successful, you can open up a world of opportunities.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
