George Saunders Quotes
When Young, We're Anxious - Understandably - To Find Out If We've Got What It Takes. Can We Succeed? Can We Build A Viable Life For Ourselves? But You - In Particular You, Of This Generation - May Have Noticed A Certain Cyclical Quality To Ambition. You Do Well In High-school, In Hopes Of Getting Into A Good College, So You Can Do Well In The Good College, In The Hopes Of Getting A Good Job, So You Can Do Well In The Good Job So You Can ...
And This Is Actually O.K. If We're Going To Become Kinder, That Process Has To Include Taking Ourselves Seriously - As Doers, As Accomplishers, As Dreamers. We Have To Do That, To Be Our Best Selves.
Still, Accomplishment Is Unreliable. "Succeeding," Whatever That Might Mean To You, Is Hard, And The Need To Do So Constantly Renews Itself (success Is Like A Mountain That Keeps Growing Ahead Of You As You Hike It), And There's The Very Real Danger That "succeeding" Will Take Up Your Whole Life, While The Big Questions Go Untended.
