Daily Motivator: The Opening Lines of Mesilas Yesharim

A Kollel student who had enviable motivation and enthusiasm for learning year after year, day after day confided that his motivator was reading the opening lines of Mesilas Yesharim every day before leaving home:

Man needs to realize clearly his duty in this world and what goal is worthy of his endeavors all the days of his life.
--Chapter 1

These few lines inspired him and by his behavior he inspired others.
