> if we agree that being good at your career takes daily effort and practice for the majority of life, why does this conviction fall apart when it comes to diet and exercise? This is how I put diet and exercise into perspective now. If I told someone I wanted to learn how to paint or play guitar and I started complaining in 2-3 weeks about how I'm seeing no progress, they would immediately be able to see how unrealistic I was with my initial expectations. Diet and exercise are no different.
