If anyone if achieving a lot without working too hard, just imagine what you can do if you step up the gas and work really hard. for those of you working hard and not getting much, let me remind you You may not get what you worked for but you Have to work hard for whatever you get. Steve carry on the excellent work and I hope more amd more people benefit from you. Cheers ! Bobby Dear Steve,

He would just sit up to 16hours per day studying, or when deadlines aproaching he would not sleep at night... his like a machine, results are superior. When i analyze how i spend my time, it's horrible. but social stuff, life, happiness should not be sold out for hard work. imho One of my buddies only through his hard work got into Computer Science olympics.

If Earth really is a giant supercomputer, then it probably makes sense to make it evolve in the good direction.

Sure I'd be working hard, but would I end up broke and on the streets because I didn't do the "right thing" that my parents/friends/society told me to do? Or would I be one of those workaholics toiling away endlessly for another nickel on the quarterly per share earnings as my family and health wastes away. Or perhaps I'd have to stoop to immoral depths to achieve goals that are physically impossible to do in a moral way(i.e., doing things the typical billionaire does to become a billionare). (Your articles on core values addresses how to circumvent much of this). Hard work is good and to be admired, yet it's necessary but not sufficient for happiness. It may not even be necessary. I think there are some people out there genuinely happy with mediocrity. And who am I to tell them that they are wrong to like that? Sure *I'D* be miserable in their situation, but I'm not them after all.
