Perhaps this advice works best with people who have no self-destructive desires. For those of us who are merely human, though, we have to compromise.
- run4yourlives 14y agoCompromise is pretty much exactly the thing you shouldn't do. Is there something you really, really want to do that falls into this category?
- jquery 14y agoYeah. Lots of things. I'm a complicated person full of contradictions, foibles, and flaws. For every door I open, another one closes. There's no way to do everything I want. So I follow the path that I think will lead to greatest long-term happiness, even if, in the short-term, I have to make sacrifices.
- johnchristopher 14y agoExactly. We are not machines and we can't program ourselves even if the mass media and the motivationnal websites and that under 24 startup guy who built a webpage would like you to believe it.
