In the book

Two quieter truths steady the whole effort. Aim to create more than you consume, leaving more value with everyone you touch than you take, for that is finally what a successful life produces; and take heart that the capacities you need are built, not bestowed — the best are made, not born, evolving by absorbing experience and learning from their mistakes. And let the climb point outward. Dig deeper than your own comfort, ask more of yourself, and do more for others, because a life aimed only at itself is a small one. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
