People have different ambitions and goals and should not be judged for them. The journey to success is like looking for a treasure, and while some may find it, others may not due to the different abilities and circumstances. Therefore, it is not wrong to give up and stop pursuing something that may not bring personal happiness, and people can have different definitions of success. Finally, people should not be pressured to achieve success that suits someone else's definition, and society should also be more accepting of people with different abilities and ambitions.
