NOTE

Pursue Excellence, Not Just Leisure

Pursuing fulfillment requires hard work and dedication rather than leisure. Successful individuals do not optimize for comfort; instead, they strive to excel in their pursuits. Engaging deeply in work leads to meaning and satisfaction, while a life of mere consumption engenders emptiness. Real achievement comes from building and creating, not from leisurely activities. A commitment to mastery over mediocrity is essential for true fulfillment.⠀

--- QUOTE --- “There's nothing I revile quite as much as a dilettante. I don't like doing something to a mediocre level.”
