it's shallow

You learn things that actually benefit you

it might be technically correct

How is this hard to grasp

but it's shallow

I do it all the time

Read papers

Research publications

It improves my ability to do my job

I’m paid in proportion to the cleverness and efficiency with which I solve problems

So if when I learn some shortcut I get a raise

What’s shallow about this

There’s always a better way to do your job or learn new things

you also have to do effort at your job

No shit

This is assuming you’re not a lazy fuck

like this leaves out the primary methods of making progress

Nobody is saying you can do this and not do your job

Obviously

This is basic obvious shit

😂

honestly it's like saying "if your engine isn't as powerful as you want it to be then add oil"

putting oil on the engine will not help if it isn't turned on

it can lubricate, yes, but it isn't a catchall solution

Lmao youre grasping at straws

and it definitely isn't the difference between millionaires and poor people

This analogy is asinine

seethe harder

Doing these things in addition to your best

Nobody is saying you can’t try your hardest at your job

You’d have to be completely daft to interpret it that way

the way it's originally worded reeks of some trust fund kid saying "just pull yourself up by your bootstraps"

Okay lol

If you applied these to your life you’d probably be wealthier, in addition to working your hardest

Even redneck occupations have continuous improvements that could be implemented

Stop trying to be offended by something and just look at the advice for what it is

let me just go tell this farmer to stop watching TV

Evaluate it on those grounds

If a farmer stopped watching tv and tried to do other shit

like if you worded it as "here is advice to be more productive" i would be more receptive

He’d probably be better off
