Yes, it's not clear to me that we have a moral obligation to be "best" or do the best we can, even if there was no mental/physical price associated with it.
(Let alone "best" is not clearly defined but I take it as quality/performance/output - frequently materialized in money or professional advancement).
- pdimitar 6y agoSadly nowadays there is no real incentive to try harder for most people -- except maybe "don't stop or all the money you poured into mortgage will evaporate and you and your family will be evicted". That's not motivational, that's being threatened with a big stick for a huge chunk of your adult life. Jackie Chan's advice definitely applies to his work -- movies and stunts. I can see how his words are true in that area. What many successful people keep missing however, is that their advice is very far from universally applicable.
