Distinctions

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement - success will follow.
- Helen Hayes

These words from last week's email have stayed with me. Some tenets go straight to the bin, but those which inspire, are carefully filed to be read and re-read.
