The magnitude of the work done may not be great, but the world is different because that person has lived and worked. The real secret of a dynamic personality is to believe that God works through you, whatever you may be doing; to put his service first, and to be as sincere, practical, and efficient as you know how.

If it doesn't excite me, it's not worth doing - it's better to work on myself and my own life and wait until another great thing comes along.
