Contentment does not come from achievement.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Accolades and lists may tell us about accomplishments, but life is meant to be experienced, not just accomplished. It's like the difference between reading books for the sake of reading and reading books just to get a good grade.

Achievement builds character.

Don't confuse honours with achievement.

In terms of achievement, the pride is very important to me. It keeps me going every day. The money is always second to me.

Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause.

True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.

Contentment is, after all, simply refined indolence.
