It is a fallacy to believe that unhappiness or lack of fulfillment stems from not being excellent at a specific activity. The true source of dissatisfaction lies in depending on external validation and recognition for self-worth, as no one can be perfect at everything.
É uma falácia acreditar que a infelicidade ou a falta de realização pessoal decorrem da ausência de excelência em uma atividade específica. A verdadeira fonte de insatisfação reside na dependência da validação externa e do reconhecimento para a autoestima, pois ninguém pode ser perfeito em tudo.
