Loooooooooove it! 
Here is a quotation I like:
�Don�t
bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.� (William Faulkner) Another one: �Even a mistake may turn
out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.� (Henry Ford)
Also:
"There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in
the realization that we have accomplished something." (Henry Ford again)
