“Yet amid all the hollow striving, there exists the possibility of rediscovery. Sometimes, all it takes is the shock of disruption—a new place, a new challenge, or even a simple, shared task — to crack the shell of numb routine and let purpose seep back in. Meaning, after all, rarely arrives neatly packaged or clearly labelled; more often, it creeps in on muddy boots, disguised as sweat-streaked work or the unexpected laughter of companions.”

It is not the quantity but the substance that matters.”

“Wealth and prestige may be sought after by most, but it is those who have too much of them who realise just what a curse privilege can be.”
