2/ People talk about work feeling like play when done right. In the best of times, this is

3/ It didn’t come without costs. I gave myself pre-diabetes when working 90+ hr / week in my early 20's. Suffered stress-induced IBS when my first startup went through ups and downs. I’m not saying it’s easy to live this way.

4/ But I wouldn’t trade any of it because the work has brought me tremendous joy and happiness. I outworked my peers to earn opportunities that were typically reserved for white guys who went to Harvard & Stanford — not an introverted, short, nerdy Asian female.

5/ It’s also why I love working
@JoinAtomic. All of our team, founders, and partners works hard, period. Not because we have to, but because we want to. We find tremendous joy in building meaningful businesses that can change the world.Näytä tämä ketju -
6/ And just because I work hard doesn’t mean I don’t live a fulfilling life. I’m happily married to my best friend for the past 7 years. We have an 8-month old daughter who is the light of our lives.

7/ I’ve traveled to 30+ countries. Ate at wonderful restaurants. Hiked Kilimanjaro. (And yes, I read s-1 docs during the ascent because one of our companies was going IPO at the time.)pic.twitter.com/4azd3CwAVF

8/ Let me be clear: I have never forced anyone to work weekends. But I’ve never worked with anyone ultra successful who didn’t find so much passion in their work, that they felt the desire to do so.
