"Envy never comes to the party dressed as envy, but as high moral standards." That's a paraphrase, Wilde or Shaw I think, but this post is a perfect example.

"Envy never comes to the party dressed as envy, but as high moral standards." That's a paraphrase, Wilde or Shaw I think, but this post is a perfect example. I think the idea that "hard work is an end unto itself" is pretty dumb. I'd also like to address his comment about "who will do the work?" if everyone implemented Ferriss methods. Well, obviously some people are going to lack the initiative, brains, risk-tolerance, information, or opportunity to do so, and will be stuck manning the refineries or stuffing the boxes. But you can't really blame Ferriss for that, as he wrote a best-selling book trying to show how and why to do it, even without having much money or "qualifications"!
