[Quote No.25805] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"...work is the secret of accomplishment – and accomplishment is the real secret of happiness. It has been proven time and again, though the lesson has yet to be learned by everyone, that wealth, fame and position, in themselves, do not bring happiness, nor can they make life worthwhile. But accomplishment always brings happiness. Man’s role on this planet is to continue the work of the creator; therefore, to play a part in that great work of accomplishment always brings the highest kind of happiness and fulfilment – a special kind of satisfaction that uplifts the mind and delights the soul." - Edmund Bordeaux Szekely
Professor of Philosophy and Experimental Psychology at the University of Cluj, in 'Creative Work - Karma Yoga' describing the concept of Karma Yoga: Union Through Work; one of The Sixteen Yoga Sutras of Patanjali [c200 B.C. - c110 B.C.] who founded Yoga in ancient India

[Quote No.26045] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"Regret is the worst of human emotions. There is no going back with regret. There is no future with regret. Regret is not something I live with. If there is something I wished I hadn't done, I don't do it anymore or I forgive myself and try better. My life is my statement and I try to be true to myself and thusly to other people. Whatever my failings are, they are human and I try to perfect it each day." - William Shatner

[Quote No.26098] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
The twenty-sixth president of the United States of America

[Quote No.28355] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"[If you are feeling a little low, try this:] Maintain a list of small, meaningful tasks that need doing - things like replacing a light bulb, writing a letter, or returning a phone call. Take out your list when you feel a slump coming on and take care of one of those tasks. You will be out of your slump by the time you have completed it. Why? Because you will have 'stepped back' to catch your breath. Plus, accomplishing even small tasks is energizing. Results are always good!" - Bob Cox

[Quote No.29763] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"Savor the Small Wins: The principle of using small wins to build psychological momentum was presented in a Ph.D. dissertation at Stanford University in 1977. The theory: It works because it's a truly brain-friendly concept. When someone praises you, you feel good because your brain produces a chemical called dopamine. When you praise yourself by checking off a completed action step, you get the same physiological result. As you achieve one small win after another, you find it easier and easier to take the action steps that generate the wins. One way to keep things moving is to keep score. At the end of every day, Ben Franklin would ask himself: 'What good have I done this day?' You can ask the question: 'What have I done today to move my life and career forward?' Think about the action steps you took today. Think about how they helped you achieve your goals. Savor your victories. Remember that success usually isn't a result of achieving great big things all at once. Eat the elephant of a big achievement one bite at a time." - Matthew White
Author of 'The Confidence Bible: the Little Blue Book of Fearless Confidence'. He believes being confident is a skill that can be learned, just like playing golf or learning to drive.
