“When we have poor values—that is, poor standards we set for ourselves and others—we are essentially giving fucks about the things that don’t matter, things that in fact make our life worse. But when we choose better values, we are able to divert our fucks to something better—toward things that matter, things that improve the state of our well-being and that generate happiness, pleasure, and success as side effects. This, in a nutshell, is what “self-improvement” is really about: prioritizing better values, choosing better things to give a fuck about. Because when you give better fucks, you get better problems. And when you get better problems, you get a better life.”

“لا، إنها ليست تلك الراحة السحرية الأبدية ! ليست هي نهاية أنواع المعاناة كلها ... ليست ذلك النوع الخيالي التافه من «الإشراق » ؛ بل على العكس تمامًا : إنني أعتبر الاستنارة العملية نوعًا من الإحساس بالراحة تجاه فكرة أن هنالك دائمًا قدرًا من المعاناة لا يمكن تجنّبه، وأن الحياة مكوَّنة (بصرف النظر عما يمكن أن نفعله ) من فشلٍ ومن خسارة ومن ندم، ومن موت أيضًا . عندما تكف عن الانزعاج من مختلف أنواع المساوئ التي ترميك الحياة بها (سوف ترميك بها دائمًا، صدّقني ) ، فإنك تصير شخصًا منيعًا تجاهها من غير أن تبذل في ذلك جهدًا كبيرًا . ففي نهاية المطاف، تظل الطريقة الوحيدة للتغلب على الألم هي أن تتعلم أولًا كيف تتحمل ذلك الألم”

But that same metric later tortured him in spite of his success.”
