    My father was incredibly successful and worked his ass off to achieve all he did, so it was a shock when he gave me the following advice: “Maybe don’t give 100%. If you can get by with only 80%, maybe just do 80.”

    I live that way now. I used to break myself for my work. Not anymore. The job is there to give me money. It’s not for me to serve the job.
