Is "relentlessly resourceful" really equal to "discipline" ? This equivalence seemed to be the weakest part of the post.
Discipline (which I define as "doing what ought to be done in preference what you feel like doing" seems to be a different quality than "resourcefulness" relentless or otherwise.
Besides, deciding what "ought to be done" is easy for things like "Go to the gym everyday" but not so easy for "what to do today in my startup ".
- harscoat 16y ago+ 1 Ressourcefullness is more a "yes maybe it's possible", "let's try this" "why not". Discipline is more saying "no" or "you have to" to certain things.
- moconnor 16y agoOP here - this is a fair point but I think the comparison stands; in the post I defined discipline as taking the easy way out (in this case avoidance and/or giving up) off the table and forcing yourself to keep looking for other ways to make progress. It struck me that this was another definition of 'relentlessly resourceful' - not giving up just because you've reached a wall, but instead continuing to look for other ways you can keep moving forwards. No?
- SkyMarshal 16y agoI would categorize relentlessly resourceful under determination, but there's a strong connection between discipline and determination. They're all part and parcel.
- Qz 16y agoDiscipline, as you define it, sounds pretty tortuous. I prefer a way of life where what I ought to be doing and what I want to be doing are the same thing.
- Ardit20 16y agoGood luck with that, especially since emotions are so funy and... irrational.
