A small puzzle with three pieces

A small puzzle with three pieces:

You told me that your goal is to become a „wonderful person“

1. Your attempt must fail. It will lead to pride.
2. There is a second path to this goal. It is very difficult to walk.
3. But the second way has a huge advantage: you don‘t need to do anything

(For the solution, all three pieces have to fit together without contradictions. You need a pinch of logic to solve it)
