There’s an xkcd that talks about wanting nothing to do with people who care more about success itself than the thing they intend to be successful in.
If you live and breathe music and want to pursue that as a lifelong passion, seeking success in that field is admirable. Same with professional athletes, artists, authors, doctors, engineers, chefs, farmers. I love to see people who love their craft, and there’s no shame in wanting to be great at it.
But people who want success in something and then try to find that something to be successful at? Those people are losers.
Yeah I’ve been flirting with a couple lately and one of them is in grad school which is hot as fuck. The other does her trade at home for fun, which is also very attractive.
Honestly wanting success but not caring how is only matched in unattractiveness with not caring about anything enough to try to be good at it. Hell even being a jack of all trades is hot. My ex was no farmer or carpenter, but she gardened, built her own bed, and had just gathered various other skills wherever she could find them.
As HPMOR’s Quirrel/Voldemort would say, these people are ambitious but have no ambition - just following the path society hands to them.
Ambition can be really cool, in fact, it’s a good idea to have an ambitious goal that motivates the path of your life.
