Indifference

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel got it right when he said:

The opposite of love is not hate,
     it's indifference.

The opposite of art is not ugliness,
     it's indifference.

The opposite of faith is not heresy,
     it's indifference.

And the opposite of life is not death,
     it's indifference.

Nothing will kill a dream or douse the fire of a good idea more quickly than indifference. To whatever endeavor you commit yourself, be on guard primarily against that spirit-quenching attitude of apathy.

At what do you wish to succeed? A project? A job? A relationship? A personal mission? A financial goal? A life purpose? Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It's our goal in life to find it and keep it lit.

In order to succeed greatly, one must care greatly. For indifference is no match against a well-attended fire in the heart.
