Concentrating your life only on making money shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself but when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential. I need to take up the challenges that we face as a people and make them my own, not because I have an obligation to those who are less fortunate, although I do have that obligation. Not because I have a debt to all of those who helped me to get where I am, although I do have that debt. I need to take on the challenge because I have an obligation to myself.

A nice expansion of the great words of Mahatma Gandhi that if you want to see change in the world, be the change yourself ! It's an unbeatable proposition for world peace, slow but without unnecessary violence of any description.
