I am sorry to drag someone I've never met but the most boring people I know fixate on sets of traits associated with Success and talk about such things constantlyhttps://twitter.com/APompliano/status/1005784785954967552 …

yeah pretty sure success is mostly about ones compulsions just happening to be the sort of thing currently rewarded by the marketplace I'm not sure there's much actionable insight there

maybe there are really people who can't figure out platitude level prescriptive advice on their own but mostly I think nobody needs to be told that it's good to get a full night's sleep, eat well, work out, and work on a team with good people.
-
but its way harder to try and figure out WHY most people don't do all that stuff habitually and how to get them to change their habits. I think the answer is motivation. the real advice that isn't given is "you have to give a shit about what you're working on".
-
but we don't particularly live in a society where many people are given opportunities to work on what they give a shit about. oh to be one of the lucky ones who gives a shit about Venture Capitalism or climbing the corporate ladder.
-
there are people who are genuinely passionate about those things but "passion" is just "compulsion that happens to be socially sanctioned and not fucking weird" I think
