"Human beings differ profoundly in regard to the tendency to view their lives as a whole. To some it is natural to do so, and essential to happiness.... To others life is a series of detached incidents without directed movement and without unity. The habit of viewing life as a whole is an essential part of wisdom...and is one of the things which ought to be encouraged in education. Consistent purpose is not enough to make life happy, but it is almost an indispensable condition of a happy life. And consistent purpose embodies itself mainly in work."
--Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness
"Enough, if something from our hands have power to live, and act, and serve the future hour."
--William Wordsworth. After-Thought
Purpose and energy are key ingredients that add meaning to our lives, both tangible and intangible. Children's energy, channeled toward a definite purpose, generate a synergy unimaginable to those who set limits rather than open doors to possibilities.
--George Linthicum
