No. Work hard. On something that matters. The world needs a lot of help. If people with privilege use that privilege to slack off rather than give back, the world has no hope.

You will find a lot of meaning and joy in giving, in focusing on the well-being of others. Your own well-being will follow.

Yes to 3, 4 and 6! 5 Never hurts.

There is no point in burning out quickly. Burn sustainably.

With great power comes great responsibility.

There are many people even in developed countries[1] who need help of those who made it through.
