Rational assessments can prevent commitment. Only one out of millions becomes an Olympic champion (rational), why even try? (lack of commitment as a result of rational assessment)
- scott_s 18y agoWhy sugar coat it? You will fail along the way. A lot. If you expect it, you're less likely to see failures as disastrous. It's the people who continue on despite knowing that today's effort won't make much difference that can achieve great things. It will make some difference, but not much. But added up over years, you've achieved something significant. Any single Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practice I attend won't make much difference in how good I am. But five years worth of consistently showing up despite that I now have a purple belt, and I compete in the advanced division in competition. Any given day I show up at the office won't make much difference in my research, but five years worth of that means I'm close to my PhD.
