“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make
it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness,
cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side
effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the
by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must
happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring
about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and
go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see
that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely
because you had forgotten to think about it” – Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search For Meaning
