Most poor people do not really aspire to end poverty; they merely aspire to escape it.

That you have just caught success after chasing it for many years does not mean that death will stop chasing you for at least a few seconds.

For a sane person to sincerely be happy that someone has succeeded, they have to either be profiting or likely to profit from that person’s success, or be that person.

After some point, working harder makes achieving the goal harder or even impossible.
