You could argue this is also a recipe for burnout. And thats why binary advice is pretty much useless. Everything is a balance, but you can't embrace the suck

Everything is a balance, but you can't embrace the suck for 10 years, rarely anyone can.
Sometimes we also avoid the reality that we just need to quit, get healthy.
IMO the secret is not to always be struggling but to always maintain the balance of both. That is also why for many people "Eat the frog first" doesn't work.
So I'll end this with menial - it highly depends...
- saiya-jin 4y agoIndeed, if you do 'suck' for 10 years, your career may be stellar, but your overall life, happiness, satisfaction and so on are somewhere down there in the mud regardless on the number on bank account. Balance, 'pick the fight', nobody normal has infinite amount of stamina and burnout can happen to any human being if pushed enough. I know plenty of non-normal for the lack of better word, somehow broken inside. Great career, once you truly know them inside out, its a sad pile of crap. Over-competitive till last breath, always comparing with more successful, never happy with what they have. Often quite bad parents who pour their mental state into their kids too (but I think that would be impossible to avoid). And cycle repeats, kids with great grades, excelling in various sports but happiness and smiles are not their trademark. Many hit the wall eventually and its not a nice sight. Some will never get back on their feet afterwards
