Reminds me of this joke:
Two worker see their boss arrive in a fancy car. The older worker sees the envy in his younger colleges eyes and says “You like the car? Well, if you really put in the time - you know, really work hard and do a lot of overtime - for a few years? Just work yourself to the bone. And that might just be enough… for him to buy another.”
Imagine being able to afford a headstone
If I work hard enough, I can dream of the (1) bathroom tile.
What, the curtains?
What a joke.
It would just says “rip” – no one notices or cares that you feel like you worked really hard.
The sad truth
The happy truth. I means that you should prioritize things that make you happy instead of subscribing to “grind” ideology.
But grinding makes me happy!
That’s grinding on hard cocks, not waking up at 4:00 AM to run your dropshipping business and deadlift.
Then your gravestone will say “was happy” instead, because thats what people around you remember.
