If it was just about sacrifice, selflessness, and altruism, then how would you explain desire?

“Remember YOU are here to CREATE the person you want to be for life. Follow what drives YOU, popularity is nothing.  Be the person YOU want to be now because now is as close to the future as YOU will ever get.  Find someone that compliments YOU and learn everything there is about them. Body language, speech, and kindness will go far to connect with any person but always be conscience.  Never just waste time, fill it with that which will aid YOU to HAPPINESS and in turn success.  Take no moment for granted. LIVE.  Always choose the rarer of the two opportunities.  The one that appears frequently will return frequently.”   (Tanner Vaughan)
