Chapter 13 Quote

     The Quote from Page 177 of “The Pact is” you can’t aim for what you don't see. We all grow in different places with different styles of living and up bringing. “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 E. Frankly, What is being said is that if someone is never introduced to something how is he supposed to know anything about it. The way you grow up has a lot to do with who you become. I your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.  the role of family and the environment around the home often dominated people's ideas about what affected psychological well-being.
