The time for careers and passions was gone. Hunger pangs displaced ambition.

About This Quote

Hunger pangs displaced ambition. Hunger pangs are not something that can be ignored. When you are hungry, you have to eat. Hunger is a primal need.

Hunger for food is natural. Hunger for work is not. Hunger for work is a sign of failure in life.
