A quote by Thomas Merton: If I had a message to my contemporaries, I said, it was surely this: Be anything you like, be madmen, drunks, and bastards of every shape and form, but at all costs avoid one thing: success.... If you have learned only how to be a success, your life has probably been wasted. If a university concentrates on producing successful people, it is lamentably failing in its obligation to society and to the students themselves.
A blog I highly recommend. :-)
fascinating quote! In a way it is so true, if we consider success an answer it will halt our search… Thanks for sharing. Food for thought!
Excellent quote.
I’m glad not to be a success…:-)
Me too.
