 «No one cares, work harder. » is such retarded advice! 

1. Before you push yourself to work even harder, check if you’re on the right path towards the right goals. Explore, dig deep within, experiment, optimize periodically before you start building. 

2. If you’re working towards the right thing, it shouldn’t be so dreadful that you would need that stupid quote framed and hung above your desk. It’s all going to be hard anywhere, it’s up to you to choose the struggle that will bring maximal joy – regardless of success, and without needing to be bullied to put more into it. 

3. If no one cares, you have bigger problems. Cultivate your relationships. Happiness then success, not the other way around. 

Happy Friday. 😏✊🏻
