In what environment is having the discipline to do something you dislike for a later reward not a good trait?

- infofarmer 5y agoIt's really not either-or, but «following your heart» and «doing what you love» seems to be a better predictor of success, happiness, and major breakthroughs. You'll still do tons of things on the way that you don't particularly like, but a lot of time you will be too focused on the core purpose to notice. In the context of these comments, perhaps college teaches some people to do soul-crushing things — as the «reward» is not quite worthy and not really connected to what they're doing. This is a difficult and complex topic.
