Everything looks down when we are going down hill.
Aspiration lifts the life; groveling lowers it.
Don't think you will never hear from a half-finished job, a neglected or botched piece of work.

It will never die.

It will bob up farther along in your career at the most unexpected moments, in the most embarrassing situations.

It will be sure to mortify you when you least expect it.

Like Banquo's ghost, it will arise at the most unexpected moments to mar your happiness.
