Magnificent Obsession (Revised)
Chapter Twelve – aspire to some magnificent obsession
greater than yourself – be determined, commit to
big dreams and ideals
sideline the mundane for a grand target effective in
its overall permanence, no trifling, petty frivolities or
meaningless chatter, only a good sense of humour
obsolete or redundant tomorrows lack worthwhileness* ,
will not leave marks or footholds for others to build upon
we must set new discovery benchmarks for others
in science, the Arts, industry, stepping stone challenges for
future generations, like Mozart, Anna Pavlova, Sister Theresa,
Anne Franck, Helen Keller, Jane Austen, Newton and Einstein –
created permanence in their fields, a magnificent obsession
with global impact benefiting people in believable and practical
form, giving power and drive to create and pursue lifes goals
using strong principles: do unto others, respect self and all
others, forgive unconditionally as protection against
arrogance and corrupting influences of power
magnificent obsessions keep us strong in hopelessness,
focused with spirits raised when crushed and directionless,
motivated to realize our dreams…

[ORIGINAL]
Chapter twelve – aspire to something greater than
yourself - in magnificent obsession, in determined
commitment to big dreams and ideals
No trifling, petty frivolities and meaningless chatter,
only a good sense of humour, sideline the mundane
in the overall goal of the grand target
Effective in its permanence, the obsolete or redundant
tomorrow lacks worthwhileness* , cannot leave marks or
footholds for others to build upon
We can set new discovery benchmarks in music, science,
industry, mathematics, education, medicine, politics,
religion, challenges as stepping stones
For future generations, like Mozart, Anna Pavlova, Sister
Theresa, Anne Franck, Helen Keller, Jane Austen, Newton
and Einstein – creating permanence in their fields
A magnificent obsession with global impact which benefits
people in believable and practical form, gives you power
and drive to create and pursue a life goal
Use strong principles: do unto others, respect yourself and
everyone else, forgive unconditionally, as protection against
arrogance and the corrupting influence of power
Magnificent obsessions keep us going in disappointment and
hopeless discouragement, keep us strong and lift us up, give
us clarity and direction
When we feel crushed and confused – and give us the
motivation we need to realize our dreams…
