"Nous devons faire notre travail pour lui-même, non pour la fortune ou l'attention ou les applaudissements"
— Steven Pressfield
Simplified Meaning:
When we focus on doing something because we love it or believe it’s the right thing to do, rather than for money or praise, we often find more satisfaction. For example, imagine a teacher who cares deeply about helping students learn. Even if they don’t get a big salary or lots of compliments, they still feel happy and proud because they're making a difference in the students' lives. Similarly, an artist who paints because they enjoy it will be happier than one who only paints for fame. This idea suggests that true happiness and fulfillment come from doing meaningful work, not from the rewards we may or may not get. So, in everyday life, it’s important to find joy and purpose in what we're doing, rather than constantly seeking approval or recognition from others.
