"Should I shrink from the work that God had set before me because it was not fitted to my taste? Did He not know best what I should do and where I ought to labor? and should I long to quit His service before I had finished my task...? No; by His help I will arise and address myself diligently to my appointed duty. If happiness in this world is not for me, I will endeavor to promote the welfare of those around me, and my reward shall be in the hereafter."
-Anne Bronte in Agnes Grey
