what's the point in success if the roads to get there is paved with nails and you don't care about the place that you arrive out in the end another lesson i learned from adam mastroianni this is an extra special type of tragedy a tragedy that unfolds while everyone cheers strangling your passions in exchange for an elite to life is like being on the titanic after the iceberg water up to your chin with everybody telling you that you're so lucky to be on the greatest steamship of all time and the titanic is indeed so huge and wonderful that you can't help but agree but you're also feeling a bit cold and wet at the moment and you're not sure why strangling your passions and exchange for an elite life i loved that insight don't forget having things isn't fun getting things is fun but once you have them it's not that fun the journey is the destination and if you strangle your passions in return for an elite life as you start to get to the top of the bar of increasing your trajectory becomes harder and harder if you are miserable you're sacrificing the thing that you want which is happiness for the thing which is supposed to get it which is success
