The great secret 
of true success, 
of true happiness, 
is this: 
the man or woman who asks for no return, 
the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.
Fill the brain with high thoughts, 
highest ideals, 
place them day 
and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
– Swami Vivekananda
