Vijay Pande(@vijaypande):Will’s wisdom here usually takes too long to figure out, and usually comes the hard way for most of us. But there’s a balance since of course even in a flow state, while there’s not the grind, it’s still many hours to build something great.

"it takes hard work to achieve anything great" is a dangerous lie. great output comes from finding an activity that feels as natural as breathing or walking and great work becomes the very substance of your existence. if it feels like a grind you've found the wrong expression
