One thing I learnt early on my career is that personal gratification takes second place.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
There is a sort of gratification in doing good which makes us rejoice in ourselves.
I've worked out for years. For a long time, it was my only sense of gratification.
Delayed gratification is a sweet lesson whose teacher knows the best is not right now, it is yet to be.
My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
I need instant gratification.
The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies.
I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.
I've always had a hunger for realizing myself through my career.
