Thanks to Brad Feld for sharing. As we work passionately on doing something we feel is important, we need to be sure to protect our mental health in the process.
tl;dr for Brad's post: Depression was caused by physical exhaustion/injuries and lack of work stimulation.
Not willing to say no to existing plans when they are no longer viable, and not keeping an eye on the internal balances of the work itself, can lead to a bad situation. Be mindful in your own life.
- gshubert17 13y agoI thought the second insight was the teaching/learning dichotomy: I had an intense insight a few weeks ago when a friend told me that as one gets older, the line between learning and teaching blurs. This is consistent with how I think about mentoring, where the greatest mentor – mentee relationship is a peer relationship, where both the mentor and mentee learn from and teach each other. With this insight, I realized I needed to stop separating learning from teaching in my motivational construct – that they were inextricably linked.
- beat 13y agoI think that's tied to the lack of stimulation. He wasn't letting the teaching stimulate him. I'm sure he would have his own interpretation of my interpretation. :)
