Because it's a fun game to play. I view life as mostly a game. I like seeing how far I can go. I work hard because it's fun.

I also like the feeling of helping people around me. It's a great feeling to teach people something they don't know or pulling people up with you, or simply inspiring them through my actions.

Really I don't have any specific motive like "success" or "fame" or "money". I barely even look at my bank account tbh (though I should probably sit down one of these days and analyze my financials and do some stuff I've been putting off).

I'm generally a pretty zen guy these days. I haven't always been like this, but I really really like my current state of mind. I'm enjoying life a ton, because I removed all external expectations.

How did I do it? Exercise, Diet, and Sleep. That's really just it.
