"Le plaisir que nous trouvons à penser à l'avenir ne vient pas d'imaginer atteindre nos objectifs mais de l'espoir secret que nous ne serons plus nous-mêmes une fois arrivés."
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Thinking about the future makes us feel good not because we see ourselves reaching our dreams, but because we secretly hope we will become different, better people by then.
