You seem to have a clear view of what will make you happy, and I genuinely commend you for that. My initial question was "To Whom (does it matter)?" and you seem to have answered it with "To me and my beliefs about who I am". Fair enough.
But I wonder,
- Do you want a brilliantly gifted surgeon or one who gets by on grit to operate on your loved one?
- Do you want to listen to the effortless musician who seems to have some gift from god, or one that practices 6 hours a day even though they know they kinda suck?
- Konohamaru 6y agoKind of a theoretical question since you cannot observe grit. Only the surgeon can know if he has grit based on his own self-reflection. > or one that practices 6 hours a day even though they know they kinda suck? Again, we know that practice does not make perfect, but rather perfect practice makes perfect. Just because he practiced for six hours a day doesn't mean he practiced well.
- betenoire 6y agothis is all rhetorical, especially when you brought in the afterlife. grit == effort, not results, and not even effective effort, since that would take an inheritance to understand what is and what isn't effective. you dodged the question
- Konohamaru 6y agoReframe it! Instead of thinking results matter, reframe your life as the following: 1. Pretend that only effort exists 2. Assume beforehand that all your results are equal to <insert first-rate role model>'s results in <insert your desired field> 3. Only exit this make-believe world by looking at your actual results in order to measure the quality of your effort
