This is a good post and I agree with the argument. However, I think it puts too much emphasis on working harder and not enough emphasis on aiming higher. Working more hours is at most a 2x − 3x productivity increase—there are only so many hours in a day. Aiming higher can easily be a 10x increase. Jensen Huang works a lot of hours, but was equally important that he pushed Nvidia to expand beyond graphics cards to underpin all kinds of computing. A great example of aiming higher from our community is Giving What We Can’s goal to reach 1 million pledges. https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/blog/announcing-our-2025-strategy
