The Price of Significance

“Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation, but there is a freedom in humility. It doesn’t matter anymore what anyone else thinks or what others say. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.” (p.62-63)
