The Purpose of Life
About 35 years ago, during my GETSCO days, I read these "words of wisdom" in a magazine. I clipped it out and carried the passage in my wallet ever since. Some things "matter" and are worth saving! -Dave Lucier (FEP-1968).
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. The purpose of life is to matter, to be productive, to have it make some difference that you live at all. Happiness, in the ancient, noble verse, means self fulfillment and given to those who use to the fullest whatever talents God or luck or fate has bestowed upon them.” - Leo Rosten
