Thought for the Day
Words from the twentieth century actress, Helen Hayes, caught my attention recently: "My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success."
