> The "flow" that imaginative people love so much has a darker cousin that prevents you from pausing to savor life... I'm glad he pointed out this seemingly small detail. This took me a very long time to understand. EDIT: It reminds me of another great post by Paul Buccheit. It's so important to have the 'heroes' of startup culture explicitly spell out these values: > I worry that perhaps I'm communicating the wrong priorities. Investing money, creating new products, and all the other things we do are wonderful games and can be a lot of fun, but it's important to remember that it's all just a game. What's most important is that we are good too each other, and ourselves. If we "win", but have failed to do that, then we have lost. Winning is nothing. http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.fr/2012/03/eight-years-today.html http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.fr/2012/03/eight-years-today.ht...
