Impatience with Actions, Patience with Results. Great Quote.

[shantanusingh]

- Don't get mesmerized by status signalling of some people...
- Inspiration is Perishable so just take actions as soon as you have it...
- Sprint, REST, Reassess and repeat... This is How you build a marathon of sprints...
- Don't just confuse efficient hard work with inefficient hard work... work hard in an atmosphere or among people those are really working for achieving the same thing you strive to achieve...but first work hard to find that atmosphere.
- Impatience with actions but patience with results, do whatever you're supposed to do that inspires you coz you aren't getting any younger anyway...
- Follow the Lion hunting Strategy if you are passionate about a solving a problem most efficiently...
Commenting just so i get a reminder of this masterpiece in future whenever someone likes my comment.

"People who brag working 80-120 hr weeks is just status signaling. No one can sustain high output with mental clarity, your brain breaks down". Effective people work in short sprints that make up a marathon of sprints. This is so true!

I find myself writing notes furiously when listening to Naval.

I’ve worked many 60 hour weeks. 12 hr days. After some time working this much, you will not be at your best. Work smarter in less hours. I agree w so much this man says. He doesn’t stutter or guess or say ummm, he’s very confident!

Hard work is the refuge of people that’ve nothing to do. - Oscar Wilde

[brahmaputramoskva]

Marathon of sprints is golden word that came to mind as he spoke

You need to be doing short sprints with rest everyday while being consistent

Live more than you work !
When life is work, then there is no life.
Connecting all as a lifestyle is the trick and a complicated balance in life.

[iVuDang]

My key takeaways:
- People who brag working 80-120 hours a week is just status signalling. Nobody can work at sustained high output and have mental clarity. Your brain will breakdown, and you won’t have good ideas.
- People who work most effectively, especially knowledge work, is a sprint when they are inspired and they are passionate about the task at hand. And then they take long breaks. Similar to a lion hunting.
o Sprint. Rest. Reassess. And then try again. And then you end up building a marathon of sprints.
o Inspiration is perishable. When you have it, do it right then and there.
o Impatience with actions, and patience with results. Anything you have to do, just get it done. You’re not getting any younger. Your life is slipping away. You want to do it quickly as you can and while you have full attention. But you have to be patient with the results because you’re dealing with complex systems and lots of people.
o It takes time to get products to emerge as you polish, polish, and keep polishing away.
o Solve the problem the moment it happens. Solve it as quickly as possible.
- Success is made up of small wins. Win by each hour.

Hope one day when I accomplish something, I can point out this video that changed my life. Thank you.

Hard work is absolutely no substitute for who you work with and what you work on.

What you work on is probably the most important thing.

Finding Product-Market-Founder fit.

1. Pick the right area to work in.
2. Pick the right people to work with
3. Hard work

Impatience with actions. Patience with results.

I like the concept of sprint that you talking about.

I'm so glad you've spent so much time clarifying these thoughts, Naval, because it seems like you're addressing everything that's floating around in my mind.

[PrithivirajSaminathan]

i found this channel and found the real purpose of my life :) thank you so much Naval !!

[slaw.s.]

Thx a lot Naval for sharing valuable tips on business. I got the same personal characteristic as you ' I won't sleep until the problem is solved or the resolution is in motion'. That's why I gave up a law career where a felt miserable. I hate to wait for taking action

[zikomo]

Thanks a lot for making these videos apart from your Twitter.

I don't know if you care about view count that much, but I'm sure it will surge with time, Fermilab's channel also didn't have many views back then, but now its popular.

To each his own. I was successful when I was young and lived like The King Of Queens (Old show where Doug worked, sat, around, ate and enjoyed life), now I'm working towards a goal that I can do until I die, which is helping people and getting them results, something I do for fun anyway. Never follow the status quo for the sake of it. Finding what you want to do for the rest of your life, or a general purpose or set of values is much harder to cement. Do that!

EDIT: nobody cares wether you work hard or not. They care about results or outcome. However 99% of the time you have to work tremendously hard to get the best outcome, or inherit something which can be more than money, say genetics.
