A yin and yang balance between sacrifice through conforming and doing what our heart desires. Even those we think are living the dream life such as LeBron James has to wake up at 5am and work out all day and make that sacrifice to have the glory that he does. There is no glory is the conformist rat race, but there is no success in rejecting every norm that already exists because then you can not function at all in society like Bartleby. If LeBron was like Bartleby and skipped all his practices because it was easier to sit at home and not listen to his coach, he would never be in the Finals. We must first meet the basic requirements to satisfy societal norms in our respective fields so we can accomplish what needs to be done. Once we accomplish these basic societal requirements, only from there can we build on top of those with our own new ideas and styles to become the next game
