Sometimes, there is no next time, no chance to restart, and no pause to continue. Sometimes, missing the present means missing it forever. Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to.
The amount of knowledge one possesses does not prove the amount of ability one has; knowledge and ability are not necessarily proportional. While possessing vast knowledge is certainly a plus, What life primarily requires is not encyclopedic knowledge, but the ability to survive.
Focus on life, seek happiness, and do not lose yourself or your life for work. There are so many interesting things in this world worth discovering and exploring; work is just a small part of it!
You should experience some suffering to truly understand its meaning. Only then will you know what pain is; if you don't, you won't appreciate the feeling of being pain-free. I will never tell you when I suffered the most. I will not tell anyone. The most painful moments are always hidden in the deepest parts of the heart. First, I do not discuss them; second, I rarely admit to them myself, although they certainly happened somewhere.
In the 18th century, Britain transported prisoners to Australia for development. The transportation was contracted to private companies, with the government paying based on the number of prisoners upon boarding. As a result, shipowners overloaded ships to maximize profit, leading to extremely high prisoner mortality rates. The government had no choice but to reform: payment was changed from based on boarding numbers to based on disembarking numbers. Soon, the mortality rate plummeted to 1%. As Hayek stated, bad systems make good people do bad things, while good systems can make bad people do good!
