“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Work hard until you no longer have to introduce yourself.”
“Work hard in silence. Let your work make the noise.”
“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” — Tim Notke
“The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right? “You’re not going to out-work me. It’s such a simple, basic concept. The guy who is willing to hustle the most is going to be the guy that just gets that loose ball. The majority of people who aren’t getting the places they want or aren’t achieving the things that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle. It’s strictly based on being out-worked; it’s strictly based on missing crucial opportunities. I say all the time if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” ― Will Smith
Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.
Assiduity: Sit down and do it until it’s done.

Heaven’s Reward Fallacy
Humans tend to have an expectation that…
- they will be justly rewarded and praised for all of their hard work and sacrifice.
- there will be a reward in the end if they sacrifice enough, work hard enough, and struggle hard enough that.
Work as hard as you can, but don’t forget to rest with the same intensity.
