I’m not saying that you can’t have success by pouring in all your waking hours. Of course you can. I’m saying that you don’t have to. That the correlation between the two is weak.

O-so-true.  Working *smart* is essential.  Otherwise, you’re working *stupid*.

DHH from 37signals on The lifestyle business bullshit.

We’re used to the future turning out differently than we expected; it happens all the time. When the past turns out differently, though, it can get really upsetting, and because people don’t like that kind of upset, we’re at risk of finding new reasons to believe false things, rather than revising our sense of what actually happened.

Too true.  It’s really hard to admit one could be so passionately wrong.
