This article gets some important things backwards in order to take on its overconfident alpha dog tone. Notably absent is how goals are chosen. Certainly some goals are better than others? And won't we be more motivated to pursue good goals and less motivated to pursue bad goals? And then mustn't we pay attention to a lack of motivation as the sign that we've chosen our goals poorly? That said, I agree that discipline is important because even when you've chosen good goals, there will be hard, boring work required to achieve them.
