I believe “what effect do you want to have on people” is one of the most important questions we should ask when we are making something. Life isn't just a series of problems to be solved but experiences to be had.

Impacters are not just asking What did I earn? but What did I learn? What did I create? What did I contribute? They measure their quality of life by how much they are learning, challenged, and contributing. If they are doing all three intelligently and intentionally, they work hard to ensure that the money will follow.

Feel that surge of anxiety, that burning urgency? Good. You should feel pressure every single day to provide the best possible outcome for all of your descendants, because as we have established, your impact on the human lives around you is what really matters.
