Alex Hormozi: 我认为追求“有用”比追求“快乐”更有价值。当我19岁时，我意识到自己陷入了一个不断追求快乐的循环，但这种循环让我感到空虚。相反，当我专注于如何对他人有用时，我发现自己更有动力去提升自己，并为社会做出贡献。我停止了对个人快乐的过度关注，开始思考如何通过我的技能和服务来帮助他人。这种转变让我感到更加满足，并最终让我对自己的生活感到更加快乐。我发现，通过努力工作和不断提升自己的技能，我可以为他人创造价值，并在这个过程中找到真正的快乐和满足感。这种快乐不是短暂的，而是建立在实际的成就和贡献之上的。因此，我建议大家放弃对快乐的执着追求，转而关注如何变得更有用，为他人和社会创造更多的价值。
