"If you develop a pure & sincere motivation. If you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion & respect. Then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, & function more effectively with less fear or worry. Not being afraid of what others think, or whether you ultimately will be successful in reaching your goal - even if you fail to achieve your goal - you can feel good about having made the effort. But with a bad motivation, people can praise you or you can achieve your goals, but you still will not be happy"
