Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. A person is qualified to be responsible for success to the degree they are willing to be responsible for failure. You cannot fight hard unless you believe you are fighting to win. On every level of life, from housework to heights of prayer, in all judgment and efforts to get things done, hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur. Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes. Change isn’t change unless something changes! “Idealism” is the enemy of growth, a source of condemnation and exhaustion. Go means a change of location! It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
