“It is a good lesson – though it may often be a hard one – for a man… to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at.”Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
The world is like an ocean in which we are all small fish hoping to claim the rank of a whale. Some may succeed and others won’t come close, but humility in our efforts is paramount. If one person remembers and is pleased by something we did, then we have accomplished everything.
