A Quote by Harry S. Truman

Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you. — © Harry S. Truman
Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you.
We need enthusiasm, imagination and the ability to face facts, even unpleasant ones, bravely. We need to correct, by drastic means if necessary, the faults in our economic system from which we now suffer. We need the courage of the young. Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you. May every one of us be granted the courage, the faith and the vision to give the best that is in us to that remaking!

The wicked will run to the iron bridge, but it will collapse under their weight. The righteous will cross the paper bridge, and it will support them all. Paper is the only eternal bridge. Your purpose as a writer is to achieve one task, and one task only: to build a paper bridge to the world to come.
My outlook on life is to be true. To take risks. To love the shadows as well as the light. To find your task. To recognise your task. To be active.
If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.
The task we all face as human beings ... is to find and become who we are. The task teachers face is to find their own way of teaching, one that manifests who they are.
Your task is not to judge or punish. Karma will take care of that. Your task is to love.
We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.

Even the mundane task may have something to teach you - especially if it's a task you haven't performed before.
Whenever you complete a task of any size or importance, you feel a surge of energy, enthusiasm, and self-esteem. The more important the completed task, the happier, more confident, and more powerful you feel about yourself and your world.
