I’d like to normalize a 6 day x 12 hour workday for men 16-28.
Despite all the self worth voodoo on media, society values you based on your utility.
And when you’re young, you have none.
But you have a lot of energy. So, trade the energy for experience points & become useful.
9-5 you work to feed your present.
5-9 you work to feed your future.
Mon-Fri you work to feed your present.
Sat-Sun you risk to feed your future.
To get ahead, you gotta work like you’re coming up from behind.
Because you are.
Uncomfortable truth:
The people rooting for you and the people hoping you fail are often the same people only separated by different times in your life.
In the Bible, before God gave Adam a wife, he gave him a job.
We’re made to work.
For all of human history except for the last 75 years, we have worked until we die.
Retirement is a new concept that’s fooled the masses.
The goals we achieve die with us.
Meaning the work we do, not we achieve from it, is the only goal that really mattered to begin with.
Work isn’t the way to achieve the goal.
It is the goal.
