Everything has its price. You can either pay it with a smile or cry because it feels too expensive. The same is true for pain. Every level in life has its own price in pain. To reach that level, you must be able to endure the pain it requires. You can cry about it, complain that you can’t handle it — or you can simply smile, embrace it, and win.

Sheep on the farm don’t need to perform, be strong, or understand anything — they only need to exist. Wolves in the wild, on the other hand, must be sharp and effective every day, or they vanish. You cannot reach your potential in comfort — you need to explore the world. — Warrior's Path

Salesmen for cheap cars chase clients, argue, and try to prove that what they’re selling is good enough. They rely on persuasion because the product doesn’t speak for itself. Salesmen for Ferraris don’t need to chase anyone. They don’t need to explain, justify, or convince. They simply drive the car, and its value is self-evident. Those who recognize it come on their own. People work the same way. If you build yourself into real value — into something rare, powerful, and undeniable — you don’t need to chase or beg for attention. You only need to show up, live it, and let your presence do the talking.

Imagine you own the most powerful computer ever built — the kind of machine capable of decoding the universe, solving problems no one else can, reshaping reality itself. And what do you do with it? You open a browser, scroll endlessly, chat meaninglessly. The machine runs, but its true capacity never awakens. That’s exactly what happens with most people. You’ve been granted the most powerful “computer” in existence — your mind, your body, your ability to act. Yet if you spend it on trivialities, on distractions, on simple loops of comfort, you waste the very thing that could make your life extraordinary. The real question is not whether you have power — you do. The question is whether you’re directing it toward the hardest, most meaningful tasks: building, creating, exploring, overcoming, shaping the world. If not, then yes, you’re running the equivalent of “browsing” on a supercomputer. You are alive with infinite potential — are you using it, or are you just letting it idle on simplicity?
