A 2018 study found that people typically pursue higher levels of education because they believe it will lead to more leisure time. But, in fact, more educated people tend to have less leisure time.13 They earn more money, but also work more hours. This upends their expectations and ends up having a net zero effect on overall happiness.
Someone dumber and lazier than you is making 10x the money because they are too dumb to doubt themselves.” - Kyle Harrison via Trevor McKendrick newsletter
Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you. Work for something much larger than yourself.
It is the key to modern life. If you are immune to boredom, there is literally nothing you cannot accomplish.
