It’s not necessarily about employees, but also applicable to friends, family and basically everyone you meet.

Put in the hard work

There’s no talent here, this is hard work.

This is an obsession.

Talent does not extist, we are all equals as human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that’s that.

I am not talented, I am obsessed.

Figuring it out

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’ t matter. Explore the world, nearly everything is really interesting when you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be but what you want to do. Keep up a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.

Richard Feynman

Stress vs. Passion

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.
