“One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But… I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.” – Thomas A. Edison

Although there will always be a swell of pride and accomplishment in the completion of any venture, the experience of the process, the actual journey toward the destination is where the true vibrancy abides. Do not be so quick to achieve your goals that you do not fully relish each step it takes to arrive at them. For life is not about the conclusion, but the journey. So it is with all that we accomplish along the way.
