I have always advocated for working hard. Hard work isn’t sufficient to help you succeed, but I do believe it’s necessary. There is a limit to how hard you should work though, and the point made here is worth understanding. But the broader takeaway is to avoid focusing on bad proxies for success. How hard you’re working isn’t a good indicator of the value you’re creating or the progress you’re making. It’s a vanity metric: just as how many Twitter followers you have is a poor measure for the vitality of your business, the amount you’re struggling isn’t a good measure of how much you’re learning and progressing.
