“Successful people tend to behave hastily, urgently, with haste, immediacy, driven by a constant self-demand that can make those around them uncomfortable. This way of acting, often judged as reckless, excessive, dreamy or far from realistic, is precisely the impulse that leads them to go beyond the margins established by the norm. In many social contexts, an ethic of moderation is promoted that extols patience, exalts the moderation of expectations and enshrines realism as the final criterion of behavior. As a consequence, traits linked to a will oriented towards achievement — such as productive impatience, active non-conformity or sustained intensity — are disqualified and labeled as flaws or defects that must be neutralized. This narrative not only limits the development of individual potential, but also inhibits the ability to imagine more demanding transformations. By discouraging the desire that resists adaptation, it contributes to the passive reproduction of the established order.
Those who truly aspire to transform their reality must oppose this stabilizing logic. To succeed requires assuming a demand that is not interrupted by obstacles, and that turns each limit into an opportunity to expand one’s capacities. It is not about transgressing out of vanity, nor about insisting out of stubbornness, but about sustaining a will oriented towards the rigorous affirmation of what has not yet been achieved.”
