learning is fun

watching others do things (tv, sports) is boring

doing the same thing over and over is boring, regardless of how pleasurable it is (sex, gormandising, you name it)

doing new and challenging things is exciting

overcoming challenges is exciting

learning along the way is exciting

 

…

world can be annoying

world can seem unfair

but at the end of the day there is a “natural” path to thread

and it does eventually render desirable results

 

just pick meaningful challenges

meaningful to the world

and meaningful to you

if it’s meaningless to the world — the world won’t care

if it’s meaningless to you — you won’t care

the former won’t get you paid

the latter won’t get you excited

 

…but there’s nothing more you have to worry about

just pick a meaningful challenge

devote yourself to it wholeheartedly and honestly

take your time… don’t let any fraud tell you how soon you ought to be a “success”

and you are up for a meaningful and rewarding and “successful” life
