Finding a balance is crucial; you don’t want to push yourself to the point of never being able to relax, as this may lead to burnout.

If I confined myself to what felt comfortable, I would lead a very narrow existence, likely spending my days in isolation and missing out on valuable learning opportunities.
Subsection 1.1.1: An Analogy of Potential
Imagine purchasing a new car designed to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, with a speedometer capable of displaying 200 miles per hour.

Pushing the accelerator, you feel the thrill of acceleration, and before long, you're cruising at 80 mph, amazed by the car's capabilities.

I prefer to reflect on a life fully lived, characterized by pushing boundaries and surpassing my own expectations.
