The World According to Mr. Rogers

"What makes the difference between wishing and realizing our wishes? Lots of things, of course, but the main one, I think, is whether we link our wishes to our active work. It may take months or years, but it's far more likely to happen when we care so much that we'll work as hard as we can to make it happen. And when we're working toward the realization of our wishes, some of our greatest strengths come from the encouragement of people who care about us. "

  1. So that explains my worldview -- watching Mr. Rogers as a kid clearly rubbed off on me ;-)

  2. Oh wait, I read that as "linking our work (occupation) to our wishes (aspirations/ideals)". His words still ring true, though.
