I don't agree with that. Some things are hard and have nothing to do with how much effort you put into it. It's a common misconception that people who succeed are those who care (or who had enough will power). There's much more to life than that, I think.
- socialist_coder 13y agoI didn't say if you care enough that it becomes easy. To truly achieve something difficult (such as leaving a high paying career to focus on your hobby + family) you usually need to really want to do it and have a good plan on how to do it. You need both. Motivation + Perspiration. I practice what I preach and am currently bootstrapping my own startup. I was able to move to Germany though where I don't have to pay an exorbitant amount for health care for me, my wife, or my daughter (who has a medical condition and would probably have bankrupted us had we stayed in the US). I readily admit that doing this type of thing in the US is infinitely harder because of health care.
