"やる気なんてクソだ。やる気は行ったり来たりする。駆り立てられているとき、目の前のものは何でも破壊される。"

Simplified Meaning:

Relying on motivation isn't always the best way to achieve your goals because motivation can come and go. It's like when you feel really excited to start a new project but after a few days, you lose interest or energy. Instead, being driven means you stay focused and determined no matter what. When you have this kind of inner drive or strong commitment, nothing can stop you; you will overcome any obstacle in your path. For instance, think about a student preparing for a big exam. If they rely only on feeling motivated, they might study hard one day but slack off the next when they don’t feel like it. However, if they have a strong drive to succeed, they will keep studying regularly, even on days they don't feel like it. In real life, being driven can help you stick to a fitness plan, start a business, or learn a new skill, because you won't give up easily. So, it's more about building a habit and staying committed rather than waiting for a burst of energy or inspiration.
