I know the consequences. It's just that I don't want to get old without knowing the limits of my potential.

- michael_dorfman 15y agoYou're not going to reach your potential if you tire yourself out beyond repair. Pace yourself. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
- cfontes 15y agoYou just nailed the issue with this single phrase...
- mechanical_fish 15y agoI'm reminded of the old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon in which Calvin asks his dad how they decide what number to put on those "Weight Limit" signs on bridges. His dad tells him that they drive heavier and heavier trucks across each bridge until it falls down. Then they weigh the last truck and rebuild the bridge. Perhaps you, unlike these imaginary bridge engineers, should settle for a well-informed estimate of the limits of your potential, with a generous margin of safety. It sounds like your health is giving you a lot of hints about where the margin of safety might lie.
- QuantumGood 15y agoI'm definitely going to quote you on that :-)
- dextorious 15y agoAnd you believe that the "limits of your potential" are in some bs business and getting a lot of money?
- bhousel 15y agoThere are no limits to your potential, in that sense. There are limits to the stress that your body can take, and it sounds like you've already run up against them.
