| I believe that while there is some inner truth in the article, that you could push harder and go farther than you could ever believe, there must be a big warning sign too. If you push yourself hard, then you should also rest hard. You can burn yourself, you can destroy your immune system with stress and die from cancer in your 30s. I know because I have worked the hardest a person can and gotten nowhere while watching other people succeed with little effort and have learn a lot from those guys. Then I became much more successful doing much less effort. I have seen people literarily kill themselves through work and getting miserable. Don't do that. You must enjoy your wealth while you create it. Enjoy your journey, enjoy the process and things become easier. Learn basic physics, learn productivity. The more output with the smaller effort, the bigger the efficiency. Master efficiency. Learn Pareto' principle. Learn habit formation so things become automatic and easy. Learn psychology so you understand people. Learn your limits, pick the battles you could win and win big. Do NOT do work that brings you little while requiring significant effort. If you work too much in the wrong things you will be miserable anyway. |
