Splash du Jour: Friday

I think that these are some excellent words about success.
About maintaining a healthy perspective on achievement.
Think of it. → Marvin Hamlisch has won three Oscars, four Grammys, three Emmys, a Tony, three Golden Globes and a Pulitzer for songs such as “The Way We Were” and the Broadway musical The Goodbye Girl.
And he says:
“If you came to my apartment, you would not see the Oscar. The truth is, it’s really not about that. It’s really about wanting to do what you can do as well as you can do it for as long as you can do it… Yeah, the penny dropped when I got my three Oscars, but you know how long the penny drops for? You have a great evening, you’ve got all these people around you, you come home and you’ve got these three Oscars – which, by the way, you have to give back so they can put your name on them, which, by the way, you have to pay for – and then the next day, it’s basically business as usual, you get the twenty calls of congratulation and on you go.”
-- Marvin Hamlisch

Love it!

Have a great Friday!
