We don’t want to become a millionaire because we love money, but because we want to know we are capable of having it.

We don’t want to travel the world because we are curious about how other people live their lives, but because we want to know we are capable of adapting to different lifestyles.

We don’t want to read news and learn about history because we want to know how the times have changed, but because we want to know we are capable of making one.

We don’t want to do sports because we want to show off in public, but because we want to know we are capable of challenging ourselves regularly.

We don’t want to watch art because we want to buy it, but because we want to know we are capable of making our own art.

We don’t want to do it because of *it*, but because we want to know we are capable of doing it.

Everything is an excuse to feed our hunger. We don’t do it for reputation or positive public opinions, we do it to feed our starving minds with a meaning to live for.
