This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
the point that you can learn anything from anyone to accomplish something faster with all resource you already have access to, yet choosing a path of negligence is such a pussy behaviour.
