Really?
Those of us who achieve our goals do so for simple reasons:
(a) we don’t need any reason other than our own ability and will
(b) we have the conscientiousness and discipline to pay the cost of self deprivations,
(c) We reward ourselves with self congratulation for enduring those deprivations.
(d) We need knowledge of a niche opportunity to exploit.
Most people want to be serfs (irresponsible) but to have the choices of consumption of freement (responsible).
