Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching.
-Mark Twain
The quality of our inner feelings will decide the content and quality of our external behaviour. As in a computer it is the software what decides the output, so in a human system the quality of mind decides our external behaviour. In a computer we call it as `software'. With reference to the human system we can call it as `mindware'.
Whatever we do for money will have less quality content than those things we do for personal satisfaction. Just replace the monitory reward with personal satisfaction reward and see what happens to your attitude to work and the commitment. A sports personality does not work for money alone. A multimillionaire may not want any more money, but he still works. These people work just for the love of their work.
Loving a person should be seen as basic human instinct. When we move with people, some one may hurt us knowingly or unknowingly. It is also human nature to feel angry or hurt. The longer we harbour these feelings, the more we will feel hurt and angry. Try to apply the `alt+control+
The third portion of the above quotation is even more interesting. Fear of criticism and judgment will prevent us from attempting anything new. Fear of failure will also have the same effect. Just ignore others' criticism and do your best and notice what happens to your enthusiasm and drive. At the same time take others' feedback as a scope to improve your process of work. Take every failure as a learning experience.
