He is Good, and I Am Also Good...

I was struck by this passage while reading last night, thinking, Yes, this is what I believe and how I like to live:

"Never begrudge another man his success, sonny.

Remember, all of us live out our own destinies.

All our lives run on a parallel path-

someone else's success neither pulls us down,

nor does his failure boost us up.

You just focus on... your own work."
