Harder Than It Looks, Not As Fun as It Seems is a short neat article on this very topic.

Reminds me of what my mum used to say to me …

“If you only judge your friends by their photo album of course it will look like they have a great life.”

💬 My Mum

or as Morgan has it ….

“It’s easiest to convince people that you’re special if they don’t know you well enough to see all the ways you’re not.”

💬 Morgan Housel

That all said I think I disagree on this ….

“no matter what your role in a company is, your ultimate job is to help sales.”


… ‘revenue’ maybe - but not sales. I think there is a difference.
