Quote by Peter C. Newman

Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.

Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draini

Summary

This quote highlights the challenging aspects of achieving success and reaching the top in one's chosen field. While it often brings financial rewards, it suggests that the pursuit of success can come at a significant cost. It points out that the constant pressure to maintain one's status and the relentless demands of a high-profile position can take a toll on one's spiritual well-being. Moreover, the physical exhaustion alludes to the intense efforts and sacrifices required to achieve and sustain success. Finally, the mention of a short life indicates that the fast-paced nature of being at the top may result in a limited timeframe to truly enjoy the fruits of one's labor.

We got off at the next exit, quietly, and, switching drivers, we walked in front of the car. We met and I held him, my hands balled into tight fists around his shoulders, and he wrapped his short arms around me and squeezed tight, so that I felt the heaves of his chest as we realized over and over again that we were still alive. I realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and I thought, 'God we must look so lame,' but it doesn't matter when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.

Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead.
