If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.
I think money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force.
God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.
From John 15:7-11: “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.”
If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the habit of doing the little things well. That’s when God puts iron in your bones.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world.'”
Success is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions. There is nothing miraculous about the process.
The only important statistic is the final score.
Bill Russell played professional basketball for the Boston Celtics in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the consummate team player, but his leadership helped his teams earn championships in the Olympics, NCAA (twice), and NBA (11 titles). He became the first African-American coach in NBA history, and as player-coach, he led his beloved Celtics to two more championships.
Do noble things, do not dream them all day long.
From Romans 14:22-23: “The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what they approve. But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because they do not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”
We are on earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I do not know.
Life is not having and getting, but being and becoming.
