It's so easy to just sit back and let time go by - and forget that we only have a limited amount of it. Just like Robert Greene says in his Death Ground strategy, time is an enemy too...

And I don't mean do you work long hours, or if you spend all night studying. Quantity has never mattered to anyone but the person making rationalizations. Only results, effort, growth--quality--matter." This is the part resonating with me right now at this exact second because I was just put in charge of 2 other people and a whole company. Having done so it's hard for me to find a fine balance in between working my ass off and working smart without getting burned out. Excellent post as usual.

Other than that, great post, I'm 22 so I am exactly where you are right now, possibly with less introspection than you do. Great work, keep it up.
