It took me years to realize that dreams are just dreams unless you work at them. And working at big dreams--the kind of career-arc dreams, are not supported well by all-nighters and heroic hackfests. They are constructed by daily drips of work in just the right direction. Keep plodding along, building up the creation in little steps. Hiking and climbing mountains are good instructors. You don't run at a mountain, you'll only get tired. Plan your route and then take the steps as they come. Don't take stupid risks. And usually you will summit!
- turk73 7y agoJust to take the mountain analogy a little further, if you're stuck in the traffic jam on top of Everest because all the other high achieving people are there, too, and then you run out of air, you're going to die on that hill. Some things are not in your control. In fact, all the people that have died on Everest are high achievers.
