There are some things so serious you have to laugh at them.
All earthly existence must ultimately be contained in a book.
Success is not about the money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.
That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.
