How will I be a contribution today?

How fantastic, Knowledge@Wharton has a piece about Benjamin Zander


Zander decided to focus on his contributions to the world, not just his achievements. "Unlike success and failure, contribution has no other side," he wrote in The Art of Possibility. "It is not arrived at by comparison. All at once I found that the fearful question, 'Is it enough?' and the even more fearful question, 'Am I loved for who I am, or for what I have accomplished?' could both be replaced by the joyful question, 'How will I be a contribution today?'"
