Honest question: Do you believe hard work (or hustling) is a negative thing?
I’ve seen this brought up on #nostr a few times and people here seem to frown on hustling. My definition of hustling is having drive and getting ahead via proof of work (ideally, you can find a way to work smarter and more efficiently).
I definitely think you need to enjoy your life. I’m a strong believer of “work to live, don’t live to work”.
However, it’s vital to have a strong drive if you want to get ahead. You want to start a business? Good luck manifesting customers without putting in the work. You can watch and re-read “The Secret” all you want, it won’t replace hard work and/or hustle.
Can’t be Apple without the grind and hours to go from a garage to the most valuable company in the world. Can’t be the USA without the hard work and lives it took (and still takes) to be a truly free republic. I enjoy watching lots of MMA, all those men and women (shout out to CrisCyborg (npub1wv7…xye0)) have the hustle to compete and be the best.
I’ve read a lot about “fiat mindset”, but nothing seems more fiat than sitting back watching your BTC grow and waiting to retire rich without contributing and putting your time to good use.
This all came up from a recent HODL (npub1rtl…jtfs) post. I understand his perspective now but it got me thinking. Was curious what the sentiment is here from others.
