Happiness and Effectiveness are Partners



I wonder how much more happily effective I’d have been had I come upon this excerpt from Dostoyevsky’s “The Brothers Karamozov” when I was a very young man.

"Let us agree that we shall never forget one another, and whatever happens, remember how good it felt when we were all here together, united by a good and decent feeling which made us better people, better probably than we would otherwise have been."

It would have eased the pressure to succeed on my own and to appreciate the many good things I had going for me including the companies for whom I worked, my fellow employees, the customers I served and the partners who helped me to make it happen.
