The worst people on Earth are the ones who are constantly obsessing about “winning” every situation, so that makes perfect sense to me.
Achieving a healthy work-life-balance IS winning. That’s what the mindless drones don’t get.
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman should go eat glass. This is how his likely schedule looks:
8 am: Meetings (optional)
11 am: tax deductible “business” lunch
1 pm: meetings (optional)
6 pm: tax deductible “business” dinner
The rest of the context seems important
for founders and entrepreneurs: if you’re serious about starting a company.
Not that I want to encourage this kind of life but with that context he is kinda right. Entrepreneurship is one of those areas where you genuinely get out what you put in. If you want your business to be better, you have to commit the time to it.
