- A successful life often feels like day-to-day failure. Failure to reach ambitious goals, but 90% of the goal is often good enough.

- Dedicating one’s life to work is often a form of suicide. « SINCE my life is void and I won’t do anything tonight, why not study this book, apply for an MBA or build a company. At least that will be some challenge. It’s not like I’m losing family time, and it will help me focus on one thing. »

I’ll leave people to decide whether this is good or bad, but if most people’s lives were fulfilling, we wouldn’t see that much technological progress.

I’m not denying a good share of people are into tech or work by passion, I’m just talking about those who work as a mean to avoid depression.
