Whatever you do next, pick something you find difficult, because without difficulty & challenge there can't be passion, and it's passion that makes us happy
The growth that comes from having to face novelty & difficulty doesn't just have concrete practical benefits, it's also intrinsically enjoyable -- perhaps more than anything else
For instance, where you read in a foreign language, you maximally enjoy the act of reading when you're at that stage when you frequently encounter new words and you have to intensely concentrate to make sense of what you're reading. Learning itself brings pleasure
