Acquisition ends with the acquirer. The house, the status, the account balance do not compound past the person who holds them. Character, capacity, and the depth of your understanding transfer. They are expressed in how you raise children, mentor others, and navigate difficulty. The person who aims primarily at getting will arrive at the destination and find it insufficient. The person who builds themselves as the primary project tends to find that everything else follows. Not as a guarantee, but as a natural consequence of becoming someone capable.
