    We all have the drum major instinct. We all want to be important, to surpass others, to 
achieve distinction, to lead the parade…. And the great issue of life is to harness the drum 
major instinct. It is a good instinct if you don’t distort it and pervert it.

    Don’t give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for 
being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral 
excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity.
