Son, I ask you to study hard, not because I want you to compete with others, but because I hope that in the future you will have the right to choose, choose meaningful, time-consuming work, rather than being forced to make a living. When your work makes sense in your heart, you have a sense of accomplishment. When your job gives you time and doesn't deprive you of your life, you have dignity. A sense of accomplishment and dignity, giving you happiness.
