Society seems to have this conception of a trade-off between effort and experience. That if you work a lot, you're missing out on a lot of life, and that simply being a workaholic will somehow rob you of the breadth of human experience and leave behind a sad, exhausted rag of misery because most people hate their jobs and find it mind-boggling to even comprehend the fact that certain individuals have a burning drive and desire to make a change, and are willing to do anything to achieve that.
The death of the extremes.
Anyways, this is true, at the very, very, very extremes. Elon Musk probably does not experience as much of the world as a nature-loving backpacker who goes out and explores the world. But does the average person do that either? I don't think so. Most people who yield this criticism do not "experience" much in their life at all - their definition of experience is simply drinking, hanging out with friends, having "fun" - all of which is valid and does contribute to human experience, I am in no way disparaging that - but you have to work a lot before things like that are even at risk of sacrifice.
I do not think most people understand just how much time they have in their days. You can work a lot before it starts impinging on your ability to "experience" life. I'm talking 17-20 hour days 6 days a week before you start missing out on vital life experiences.
Be desperate. Be extraordinary.
