Our focus quote for this module:

Words from the Wise
- Winston Churchill: Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
- Leo Rosten: I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, and to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
- Pearl Buck: To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
