Motivation. You are aiming to money or productivity, instead of what is moving you forward.

MVP is a term from a decanter Western world that is only governed by production and mercantile values, completely forgetting its spiritual part. Then you will wonder why you are lost and you will have to resort to drugs because no sentient being could be subjected to such torture organically.

Burnout here years ago. Accompanying depression and anxiety disorders.

It's not about what you actually do or don't do, it's more about how you manage your life and what your view of everything is. I haven't really been the hardest working or the most productive.

I feel like people who say that, it's like a way to compensate for that failure by projecting an image of super hard working people who have reached exhaustion or great competitive athletes who have reached failure. And I think that no, you can get burnout with a bad management of your life, your way of thinking, and with some really bad habits, and above all "stress that has not been successfully managed" [0].

I have recovered (or so I think) but I can't make as much mental effort as before, I feel that I reach my "limit" earlier, and that if I continue I can end up the same as before. But I can work on long term projects being constant. But I feel that I can't push myself like before.

I'm afraid that "hell for some will be heaven for others." Haven't you stopped to think that many people in Europe will be glad about this? And it will bring development to places that would otherwise be unfeasible. Why is liberalism only good when it benefits us?

I don't think it's not about brand recognition, it's simply about avoiding confusion (I myself thought it was about Chinese chat).

I think the HN community is very critical and skeptical in general. They're good at pointing out flaws and criticizing them, but that's the good reason we're all here. If you just want to hear flourishes you should go to crypto reddit or something.

“ Otherwise, the question seems to put the cart before the horse—power, wealth.. these are positive side-effects of a life of engaged curiosity within a professional domain and good decisions, right place;right time, and luck. Not lighting in a bottle.”

I read HN for sentences like this.

Omg, this comment is so brilliant. Thanks for open my eyes. This is more elaborated and intrincated than Nolan's movies.

All we want hear why we are failing. Most of us are going to the chase and adventure of get the quick-buck-overnight success
