    “I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you’re the most intelligent guy,”

    Dude… If you work hard despite the fact that you claim to be intelligent… You are not intelligent.

    Work smart, not hard. The smart thing is to take breaks so that you can focus on what you are doing. Not working till you drop.

        And “business” lunches, rounds of golf, general hobnobbing, etc.

        Guys like that will be on holiday and check their email once per day, respond to two of them, then claim to “never take vacation”.

        Their whole reality is warped.

        You also have a lot of founders who get to that position are workaholics who love focusing on their building empire. For them, it is hard to imagine how people wouldn’t want to dedicate everything to building an empire like they do.

          Yeah.

          It sounds delusional, but by their deluded standards it makes sense.

          Everyone should want to work themselves to death do build Jeff Bezos’ empire. It’s just logical… At least to Jeff.

          Those are my favorites - “Why doesn’t everybody in my company want to work 80 hour weeks and never take vacation, like I do?” Geez, maybe it’s because they don’t own the fucking company and there is absolutely no benefit to them to work themselves to death? They’re not the ones making more money just because they’re increasing company profits.

      Yes and on a global scale we massively overproduce a great many things in the first place. If we could calm the fuck down, we could all work a bit less.
