제가 적들에게 가장 바라는 건 그들의 모든 꿈이 이루어지는 거예요. 왜냐고요? 만약 성공을 위해 인생의 모든 것을 포기한 사람이라면—관계, 사랑, 포옹, 가고 싶었던 여행, 보고 싶었던 세상의 풍경들—그런 사람에게는 아무것도 더 외롭고 공허한 것이 없기 때문이에요.
그렇게 모든 것을 포기하고, 자신의 가치를 증명할 거라고 믿었던 이 조그만 트로피 하나를 얻는 데 인생을 바쳤을 때요. 그리고 저는 그 트로피를 손에 쥔 사람들이 이렇게 말하는 걸 들어본 적이 없어요.
"이 모든 게 정말 가치 있었어."
우리는 모두 환호의 순간, 박수갈채, 환한 조명 아래에서 충격에 빠진 사람들의 모습을 보죠. 그 순간은 정말 행복해 보이고, "아, 저 순간이 내가 원하는 거야."라는 생각이 들죠. 하지만 그 순간은 곧 사라져요.
대부분의 배우나 배우들이 오스카 시상식이 끝난 밤에 집에 가서 운다고 해요. 정말요. 그들은 이렇게 말하죠.
"이게 다 뭐지? 이건... 인간의 본질에 맞지 않아. 이건 너무 허무해. 이건 아무 의미도 없어. 이건 비현실적이야. 아무 의미가 없어."
그건 그냥 작은 트로피일 뿐이에요. 아니면 인스타그램의 특정 팔로워 숫자라든가, Forbes 잡지에 오른 직함 같은 거요.
That the thing I most wish for my enemies is that all their dreams come true. Why? Because there is nothing lonelier or emptier than if you are someone who has given everything up in your life for success—relationships, love, cuddles, travels that you wanted to take, places in the world you wanted to see. If you give all that up for this tiny little statue that you think will equate your worth... and I know anyone who's won that statue who then felt like, "Yeah, this is totally worth it."
In the moment, we see the euphoric moment where everyone's clapping and the lights are there and you're in shock. You're kind of in fight-or-flight mode, you've got adrenaline, and they look so happy. And you're like, "Oh, that's the moment I want." That moment goes away immediately. You hear most actresses or actors go home and they sob the night of the Oscars.
Really. It's just like, "What is this? This... we're not wired for this. This is so existential. This doesn't mean anything. It's surreal. It doesn't mean anything." It's just a little statue, or it's just a certain number on Instagram, or a position on the Forbes magazine.

Life Lesson (인생 교훈)
True fulfillment doesn’t come from external achievements.
트로피, 숫자, 타이틀 등 외부적 성취가 우리의 가치를 증명하지 못합니다. 우리가 추구해야 할 진정한 성공은 내적 성취와 삶의 의미에서 비롯됩니다.
실천 과제 (Actionable Challenge)
- 자신에게 질문해 보세요: "내가 진정으로 원하는 건 무엇인가? 내가 추구하는 성공이 진정한 행복을 가져다줄까?"
- 이번 주에는 외부적 성과 대신, 당신에게 기쁨과 평화를 주는 활동을 해보세요—가족과 시간을 보내거나 좋아하는 일을 해보는 거예요.
