Most people are socially conditioned into believing that acquiring and achieving things are "normal" -- even "healthy" -- ways to live.
But that's hard to achieve, things being the way they are, the others implicated being themselves.
No matter how much they dreamed and no matter how hard they worked to be something, at the end of the day, the situation with the country and the corruption, they were stopped from achieving things and were de-motivated.
Because when we are trying to feel better about ourselves by achieving things externally, we're doomed to fail.

Achieving things like that are not inconsequential".
To me, insight from those who have achieved great things is like gaining an inside scoop into how to take on our grandest aspirations.
