"Find the hard work you're willing to do" sounds very similar to what an economist would say, "find your comparative advantage"

"Find the hard work you're willing to do" sounds very similar to what an economist would say, "find your comparative advantage"
- marcosdumay 6y agoWell, the economist one generalizes better, but the specific one from the article is just way more fun.
- civilized 6y agoI find it reassuring that the advice resonates with economic theory. "Comparative advantage" isn't the most accessible way of putting it, so it's good to have others that are easier to understand
- marcosdumay 6y agoIt resonates, but it isn't just another wording of the same advice. "Do things that you like to do" is a subset of exploit your comparative advantage, and a significantly smaller one.
