the above quote can be toughest thing for a person to do... I still have my days when I become selfish and think "me first, me first", which only hurts the people around you. And when you have a wife and kids that's not right. Thank God for the opportunity to grow as an man and become selfless. It has become quite the journey as I look back at my younger days, but I know that I'm one step closer to becoming selfless as long as I stay conscious of my actions.
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them. Buddha

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
