The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade point average-- though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success. R.J. Palacio
About This Quote

In the world of business, you can measure your success by how much money you make. But, there is a lot more to life than money. In order to really make a difference in the world, you need to spend a lot of time helping others rather than simply making a lot of money.
