I've come to realize that people that are in it for a certain amount of money will never accomplish shit. You have to be interested in what you do. 
Benchmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the business term. For the geolocating activity, see Benchmarking (geolocating). For other uses of the term, see Benchmark (disambiguation).
Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other industries. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of best practice benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry, or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compares the results and processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes. In this way, they learn how well the targets perform and, more importantly, the business processes that explain why these firms are successful.
Benchmarking is used to measure performance using a specific indicator (cost per unit of measure, productivity per unit of measure, cycle time of x per unit of measure or defects per unit of measure) resulting in a metric of performance that is then compared to others.[citation needed]
Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", this process is used in management and particularly strategic management, in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison. This then allows organizations to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to improve their practices.

if you're not 'in it for a certain amount of money', work for a charity, work for free, work in exchange for a roof over your head and food, work for free education.
the rest of us will continue to have goals, and measured progress... not to mention, that "certain amount of money" will absolutely change because nobody who earns that "certain amount of money" lacks ambition or intelligence.

Omniscience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omniscience /ɒmˈnɪʃəns/,[1] mainly in religion, is the capacity to know everything that there is to know. In particular, Hinduism and the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) believe that there is a divine being who is omniscient. An omniscient point-of-view, in writing, is to know everything that can be known about a character, including past history, thoughts, feelings, etc. In Latin, omnis means "all" and sciens means "knowing".
A person who appears to know everything is sometimes called 'omniscient' meaning infinitely wise or smart.
If someone only 'thinks' that they know everything, but they truly do not, then they are simply naive, egotistcal, or ignorant, or pompous.
