Life is made up of small things &amp; big things. Most of us go only after the big things, A big mistake. As we become more &amp; more mature, this truth becomes more evident. I am sharing one of the most profund 'No NonSense' thought with you today on the first&nbsp;month of the year. Read this as many times as necessary to internalize this message &amp; start living your life. He stopped growing. He was not greater than his occupation. He never learned to look on the sunny side. He stuffed his pocketbook, but starved his brain. He had no use for sentiment which could not be cashed. He never learned to take the drudgery out of his work. He did not live in his upper stories , but in the basement&nbsp;of his being. He regarded his business as a means of making a living&nbsp;instead of a life. He lost his early friends by neglect, and had no time to&nbsp;cultivate new ones. He never learned to enjoy little things, to see the uncommon in the common. He never learned to lubricate his life's machinery with&nbsp;laughter and good cheer. He made life a grind, out of which he got neither pleasure, profit, nor instruction.There was only one side of his nature developed , and&nbsp;that was the money - making side. No face ever brightened at his approach , no heart&nbsp;thrilled at the sound of his voice. Society bored him , children bored him , music and the&nbsp;drama were unknown languages to him. He never learned to enjoy himself as he went along,&nbsp;but was always postponing his happiness. He could not rise to his feet to speak at a public meeting, or to put a motion, if his life depended on it. He used every means to develop his business , but none&nbsp;to develop his mind or to make himself a larger man. When he retired from business he found that, in his&nbsp;struggle to get the means for enjoyment,he had murdered&nbsp;his capacity to enjoy. He knew nothing about what was going on in the world&nbsp;outside of his own narrow circle; another state was like a&nbsp;foreign country to him. He read only market reports in the newspapers. He&nbsp;never read articles in magazines , and books were an unknown quantity to him.The idea of helping others , or of owing society , his&nbsp;city , or his nation , any duty , outside of caring for his own&nbsp;interests , never occurred to him. Recreation , relaxation , or amusement of any kind was&nbsp;condemned by him as a wicked waste of valuable time&nbsp;which might be coined into money. He was a giant in the store or factory , but a pigmy&nbsp;elsewhere. He was as awkward and ill at ease in a&nbsp;drawing - room as a bull in a china shop. He had neither wife , nor child , nor friend , yet he lived&nbsp;as penuriously and hoarded his gains as jealously as if&nbsp;some great issue depended on the result. Nobody had power to interest him unless he thought he&nbsp;could get something out of him . If he could not see the money mark in the man, he dropped him. He could talk " shop " fluently , but could not carry on&nbsp;intelligent conversation or express an opinion on any&nbsp;subject outside of his own line of business. He knew nothing about politics or political parties ,&nbsp;because he did not think them necessary to help his business along. - which was the gauge of all his values. Requests for aid for any charitable purpose , any philanthropic work , were gruffly refused with a curt " If those&nbsp;people had done as I did they wouldn't need help.&nbsp;He was the man who&nbsp;Succeeded in Business but Failed as a Man!&nbsp;

Life is made up of small things & big things. Most of us go only after the big things, A big mistake. As we become more & more mature, this truth becomes more evident.
