"失败和不幸福的主要原因是用你最想要的东西换取你现在想要的东西。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people end up unhappy because they choose short-term pleasure over long-term goals. It's like wanting to get fit, but eating a lot of junk food because it tastes good in the moment. While the food makes you happy right now, it stops you from reaching your bigger goal of being healthy and strong. This idea is saying that in order to be truly happy and successful, you need to stay focused on what you really want in the future, not just what feels good right now. For example, if you want to save money to buy a house but keep spending on things you don't really need, you'll never have enough money for the house. To avoid failure and unhappiness, it's important to think about your long-term desires and make choices that help you reach them.
