The problem with hard work

I think hard work gets a bad rap. It’s frequently misunderstood. You're usually confronted by the rise and grind fanatics who scream that we all have the same 24 hours and you’re just a lazy bum with foolish dreams and, quite frankly, you suck.

The hustle porn purveyors are the business equivalent of people in the gym who do backflips between burpees and perform weighted squats while balancing on medicine balls. It sounds impressive in theory but is ludicrously ill-advised for most people.

I saw a video floating across the internet of a woman deadlifting a weight so heavy she was screaming and crying and peeing all over the floor through sheer force of exertion. Please stop.
