You, like most people, can dedicate years trying to build the “right” life, chasing a better job, earning more money, collecting qualifications or pursuing the version of success that everyone around you seems to admire. But when the noise finally fades, you may find yourself facing a difficult question: What do I actually want?
You may know exactly how to work harder, earn more or get ahead. But knowing how to achieve something is not the same as knowing whether you truly want it. That tension sits at the heart of one of Mark Twain’s sharpest observations about ambition, success and human nature.
