I have some concerns with this article's advisement. It essentially boils down to stay humble, proactive, and aware. But certain kinds of advice are entirely unnuanced, for example, "dead time" vs "alive time" may mean that someone really needs the rest! Similarly, focusing on effort and not the end goal is not always amenable to reality- it doesn't matter how much you worked at a startup if your stocks ultimately end up shitty.
Of course, this article aims to kill ego, not actually enrich the person's life. Killing one's ego can also ruin one's life just as easily as an ego too alive.
- ryanackley 8y agoDoesn't most advice like this lack nuance? That is what makes it easily consumed and processed. We attach our own rationalizations and perspectives to it.
- SolaceQuantum 8y agoYes; this doesn't make the article above discussion of its merits.
