The funnel of deep feeling and profound satisfaction in life comes from the capacity to feel.

The difference between anger and deep remorse - remorse is much fatter. It's a deeper feeling altogether. Anger is too easy an escape for my money.

Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.

We'd like to prearrange our life on all levels. We'd prefer it to be scripted. But it's not.

Executives don't burn out and leave when they feel deep satisfaction. They don't create the human detritus that disgruntled managers do.
