Powerquotes - Creating Daily Insights and Inspiration
Volume 3, Number 237
"It is a good idea to be ambitious, to have goals, to
want to be good at what you do, but it is a terrible
mistake to let drive and ambition get in the way of
treating people with kindness and decency. The point
is not that they will then be nice to you. It is that
you will feel better about yourself."
- Robert Merton Solow, Nobel Prize winner in Economics
Questions to Ponder
Do I let my ambition get in my way of my relationships
with others?
What else, if anything, do I let get in the way of my
relationships?
