Hard work does not always lead to success. Most of the time, it just leads to more work.

At my current job, people keep remarking how fast I unload a truck.

I just laugh to myself. I’m not fast - I just work at a steady pace and utilize efficient methods.

I know and have know plenty of people that can move faster than me but its almost always at the expense of their quality.

I just see no reason to be ‘the fastest gun in the west’ if you can’t hit the broadside of a barn.

I had a different direction in mind actually. My experience is that if I work fast (or rather faster than the slow colleagues) while delivering good work, I just get more work from my boss because I have time. If I slow down so everyone is at the same pace, I have less work in the end. This is why I think a fixed 40 hour work week is shit. Let me go if I’m done with my tasks.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard

You can do everything right and still lose, still face heart break, and still face setbacks.

To this day, that is one of my favorite fictional quotes of all time. It’s something that for years every now and again I have to remind myself of, since our modern world focuses so extremely on success in all ways at all costs.

It’s kinda scary actually…

Bad relationships are like bad cars, after you have spent so much time trying to fix it you don’t want to “waste” all that effort.

conflict-avoidance often leads to lying, and lying will lead to greater conflict. The truth will set you free.
