The Pun of Life


Humanity, from the dawn of time, has been driven—urged and moved—by a singular, common force. Not something grand or exquisite, but something inbuilt, woven deep into the fibers of the soul. A drive. A hunger. A yearning.


What, then, is this primal force?


It is the universal desire… to suck seed.


Yes, grab a bowl of cop corn and buckle in as we traverse this paved-yet-unknown road—this mysterious, winding... horizon (though I may yet change the horizon).


The great Greek philosopher Soy Creates once said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” So let’s now examine the science of suck seeding—sorry, succeeding.


Success is achieving desired goals, yes—but it’s also feeling fulfilled. It’s personal. It’s subjective. One man’s treasure is another man’s... treadmill.


This diversity of what success looks like gives birth to individuality, and individuality fuels creativity. Without it, progress would be stunted. Breakthroughs wouldn’t happen. Success, in a way, would be a chicken full of hen-V.


But before one can suck seed, one must Lego of the many misconceptions built up over time.


Success is not fueled by motivation. It is not driven by inspiration. These are fleeting. What truly powers success are the quiet engines of routine and habit.


If I were to draw a diagram, habit would be at the top, routine at the bottom. Most people obsess over motivation—waiting for it like a late bus in the rain. But the truth is: your drive might not die, but your strength will flicker. There’s depression. Anxiety. Self-doubt. Only by developing routines that harden into habits can the seeds of success truly take root.


And habits aren’t enough. Success also demands skills—especially communication skills.


Learn to speak assertively. Here’s an example:


Customer: How much is this BMW?

Me: Yes.


Assertive. Concise. Mysterious. That’s how you make an impression.


Another example:


Interviewer: Can you work under pressure?

Me: Well… technically, pressure is force divided by area. As for work… there’s a formula, but it escapes me right now.


Smooth. Science meets swagger. That's how you suck seed in style.


Let us not forget: the desire to succeed has both psychological and physiological roots.


Physiologically, it stems from a survival instinct—fear of failure, disappointment, irrelevance. Man wants to endure. The wit shall survive. (Charles Darwin would agree. Dickens too, probably, though he might write a few chapters first.)


Psychologically, success releases dopamine—a reward. A rush. And adrenaline? That surging thrill? It comes from the hope of overcoming challenges. The chase. The climb.


In short: Success is engraved in us. In our marrow. In our madness.


Never let the flame flicker. Never let it die.


Because in the end, to suck seed... is the pun of life.
