But then if not pursuing success makes you unhappy I guess then there is a problem. |

The problem with public school is not overcrowding in the classroom. The problem is not teacher unions. The problem is not underfunding or lack of computer equipment. The problem is your damn kids. |
| Jerry Garcia |
I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs. |
| Richard Hamming |
If you want to think new thoughts that are different, then do what creative people do - get the problem reasonably clear and then refuse to look at any answers until you've thought the problem through carefully how you would do it, how you could slightly change the problem to be the correct one. |
| Leo Tolstoy |
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. |
| Marilyn Monroe |
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far. |

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. |
| Boutros Boutros-Ghali |
The fact that you had disruptions in the peace process was not only in Rwanda. We had the same problem in Cambodia, we had the same problem in Mozambique, we had the same problem in Salvador. |

I like the cold; I don't have problem with cold, and I don't have problem with rain either, as long as people are smiling. You know, early in my career, I used to wonder about this fan frenzy, but now I realize that there is genuine love, respect and affection, which makes me very proud to be an actor. |

If you're a film studio, you're making a movie for a foreign market. You're pursuing ideas that travel well. It changes the movies we see and how movies are made. |

I was pursuing the arts with theater in school, and I was doing after-school activities, but not in any real movement towards a professional career. |

Get a keyboard and write some code? Guess that doesn't solve the couch problem.

yes i am that way. doing nothing makes me upset.
but stressing about success will always leave you restless and reaching for more and more
the point is that you rid yourself of the modern western ideals because our society as a whole is molded to be continuously dissatisfied with our current positions.

“What can I do?” My simple answer is, next time you see a problem, don’t start a cupcake company that gives back—just solve it. When you see a problem, think of a solution that is public, democratic, institutional, and universal. Think of a solution that solves the problem for everybody at the root. And then build movements.

“A success story isn’t complete without the hard work and explanation of why we were successful. Did the success come easy, thanks to one’s talents, or was it attained through hard work? Both of these attributions can be part of successful self-promotion, but my research shows that emphasizing effort is more likely to garner a positive impression and people really want to know the story behind your success.
“For example, if you’re on a date and talking about a marathon that you recently ran, perhaps talk about all the training that helped you to cross the finish line. Or, if you’re in a job interview and are talking about a successful project that you led to completion, include a few details about the challenges along the way, and how you overcame them.”

It does seem like if you become content you stop pursuing more in life. Is that an ideal end goal or a trap?

This is why I think the only point is artistry. Once you understand there is no concrete self then pursuing ego validation is meaningless. Why not just meditate in bliss forever until you die? Because we like to express our awe.

I don't understand why people walk around on the heels of their feet. It's like they're jamming them into the floor. That can't be good for your bones. And it makes the room shake. It makes me nauseous. Does that not bother anyone else?

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."
