What I wanted to convey by quoting Seth Godin is that we should be more comfortable risking failure like embarassment, getting out of the comfort zone, etc. Failure of burnout and loosing your time is the risk of LONG work - not the type I advocate. It seems that I did not explain this clearly, but I wanted to point out that "slogging through" is not the right approach. > Right. So what happens when you do what OP suggests, and fail? This can happen, right, that's what "hard" and "risk" mean. It's a cliche and I wish I would have a better explanation, but: - Your failure is above everybody else's success - You get instant respect and credibility because you tried - You learn a shitton.
