Any dissatisfaction you harbor now will be with you at the end.

“I’d rather be dead than sing ‘Satisfaction’ when I’m 45.”
— Mick Jagger. Still singing satisfaction at age 81.

I am stubborn and patient. The curse of stubborn and patient people is to die unsatisfied. I don’t want to.

I look to role models to help guide my life, but most stubborn and patient role models are defeated in this regard. I think of Paul Dirac, Leonardo de Vinci, and Albert Einstein who all died unsatisfied in some respect.
