"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light – to see its perfect success."
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
Achievement, when it is too high?

Ecclesiastes 4:4 And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Commentary:  While a desire to succeed and achieve great things is not wrong, each person must test their motives.  If achievement is driven from the desires of this world, then it has no value in God's eyes.
