[quote=AN][quote=flu]I get that.. But I am just trying to understand the logic of not wanting to do the best. Even if you fall short on what you wanted to achieve, it’s still better than the alternative..
You don’t need to be a hardcore academic type. But it helps to be surrounded by motivated people (provided they aren’t doing something illegal)[/quote]Best in what? Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, you still only have 24 hours. We all have to juggle our priorities. I’ve seen people who’s definition of best = working 12-16hrs/day and making millions, while other is working enough to be able to travel the work one week every month or two while living in the city that they love. Person one would be miserable in person two’s shoes and vice versa.
Ultimately, I think you have to ask yourself, what make you happy? As long as what you do make you happy, then that’s all that matter. I don’t know if it helps to be surrounded by motivated people. I think it’s better to be surrounded by happy people who are willing to genuinely help you and not expect anything in return. Again, it all comes down to, what you want in life.[/quote]
