Doing That

I liked this tweet from Richard Ngo:

I often look at people's achievements and think: I wish I'd done that. More rarely, I see the work that went into those achievements and think: I wish I were doing that.

It’s natural to glamorize the finish line. The folks who summit are the most admirable.

But every race had months of practice. Every climb had days of work. Every overnight success was 10 years in the making.

A good pinch-me reminder to fall in love with the work that got there. The rest takes care of itself.
