It's just an expression of the ordinary.

What I mean is - it's up to them what they want to be.

I don't see fame or being incredible as valuable things to pursue.

Solid human relationships, kindness, satisfaction in work - these are the things that matter.

Doesn't mean that pursuing financial success isn't valuable and worthwhile - as long as that's what you want.

You can get all these things in rural communities as well.
