"People who succeed tend to find goal in the distant future and then chase it through thick and thin. People who flit from one interest to another are much, much less likely to excel at any of them. School asks students to be good at a range of subjects, but life asks people to find one passion that they will follow forever." Extracted from The Social Animal, the Hidden Sources of Love, Character and Achievement by David Brooks.
