“The sooner we become less impressed with our life, our accomplishments, our career, our relationships, the prospects in front of us—the sooner we become less impressed and more involved with these things—the sooner we get better at them.”
— Matthew McConaughey

Simplified Meaning:
Focusing less on being impressed with what we've achieved and more on actively engaging with those aspects leads to improvement. For example, think about a student who gets good grades and everyone praises them. If the student only basks in the praise, they may not continue to work hard or learn new things. However, if the student focuses on studying, asking questions, and improving their skills, they will become even better over time. This applies to any area of life, whether it's work, relationships, or personal goals. Instead of just admiring what you've done, roll up your sleeves and get involved in the process. By doing more, learning more, and staying engaged, you naturally get better at what you do.
