It's great to see such lively discussion. smile36

I'll add another quote by Bruce Lee:

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."


Overall, since the discussion has become serious rather than ironic, I'll share my thoughts too.
Free time, versatility, and focusing on something important are all about one's life goals. It's a complex issue, and you can find some truth in both perspectives.
Perhaps someone focuses on reading in their youth and later becomes an outstanding journalist. Or they focus on games and become a top-tier gamer.
Or maybe they don't want to be Bill Gates or Elon Musk (i.e., "the best in their field"), but instead focus on work that is useful to people and interesting to them, while diverse entertainment provides them with a fulfilling rest?

What matters is how you see yourself in this life, how conscious your decisions are, and whether you understand why you need versatility or why you need focus.

A perfect example in this regard is Ment, who is a successful example of how you can pursue science, visit the Temple, play games, watch anime, and still be a well-adjusted person rather than a recluse. Unlike someone like Perelman, for whom literally nothing else exists in life besides mathematics.

В тихой однообразной жизни всегда так бывает: каждый отдельный день бесконечно долог, но месяцы и годы мчатся с непостижимой быстротой.

I wanted to offer you some flowers, but a crown would suit a princess like you much better

Смысл жизни в том, что жизнь на тебе не заканчивается
