Thanks for putting this up. I took this and some of the positives from Atlas Shrugged to form my motivation. :-)

I think my only quarrel is with the Rosten quote, which sees the goal of happiness and the goal of being useful as oppositional instead of interrelated. Sacrifice is not useful in the end- it perpetuates distance. Better to discover the joy of being useful and be only happier and happier as you give.

Isn’t Annie happy with what she has done? Happiness is not self-indulgence or selfishness: happiness is the natural state of the human heart, it is what being present is all about. I know its semantics, but I don’t believe in altruism: I think people give to others and help others because it feels really good, because it centers them & makes them happy.

success ends the day we die. (I accidentally realized this attending a funeral.) the whole this complex world has been bulled over our eyes to make us forget that fact and make us exploitable by fueling our desires to acquire assets.

Success to Significance. I address this very issue on my recent blog post (http://wp.me/pIKzT-n). I see so many very wealthy people, totally exhausted from life, wondering – Is this all there is? They are very “successful” but have not yet found significance. I hope articles like this find their way into the conscientiousness of more and more people. Great post — thank you.
