Herbie Hancock Quote

"Success is having the ability and activating that ability to take a challenge in life and flipping it so that it becomes a source of learning, or turn it into an attribute that moves your life forward rather than back.  That is called being involved with the art of living, and that's the greatest and most difficult art that there is for a human being."
