Tell me a story about the hardest working person you've ever met, and if they serve as inspiration for you.

Hardest working gets you no where. You hit a plateau and at most sustain. Smart people find ways around this and create different income streams by doing less work mixed in with great living. Just my opinion.

My dad was a workaholic but we were a very poor family because our business was shit and didn't work. And also because he was slowly turning insane because of conditions caused by the nature of his work. He inspired me in many ways he probably never intended, I learned a lot from his errors.

One of these ways is the idea that hard work does not mean shit if you are using it in pointless, badly chosen or badly organized ventures. You may as well work for someone else then.

He also inspired me to despise working for others. I have had a few jobs but I feel like I will never be able to feel like it is "normal". Employers and managers can often get away with disrespecting subordinates and this is something I absolutely despise and will never be able to tolerate in the long run. I know that I will eventually have to have my own thing or at least be self employed or I'll never be truly happy. Once you have seen the freedom self employed or business owners can have there is no going back.

Another thing was that being in a family of very poor small business owners the typical villainish caricature of the "evil business owner" or "evil capitalist", who underpays employees or treats them badly or whatever and earns "free money" from their labor is something I never fell for. Business owners have tons of problems and adversity they have to face that a guy who just shows up to work 40 hours a week wiill never have to face or even know about. I saw it first hand and this helped me undo a great deal of the socialist and social-democrat anti-money brainwashing that is so prevalent in society nowadays. There is literally nothing wrong with becoming rich or earning a living from a business and those who think so are just ignorant.

I don't expect anyone to read all this stuff I just wrote but I am wondering if anyone else here grew up like this and developed points of view similar to those.

I had a similar upbringing and feel the same way. I'm currently a government employee who does no real work and spends most of the workday studying or reading. Hopefully I can add a zero or two to my five digit crypto stack and start a business before I return to my home country in a couple of years.

The "successful" workaholics I know don't suffer from bipolar disorder or migraines and say naive shit like "I don't understand depression, if I ever feel sad, I just ignore it completely" or "I would never commit suicide, I would call for help if I ever felt that way, I don't understand people"

I know the feeling. Gives you a different perspective on life and jobs growing up. It was always weird for me to hear other kids talking about their parents working for someone else - it wasn't normal for me. It will continue like this to the next generation as well.

I was a horribly depressed teenager diagnosed with type 2 bipolar disorder who contests that that disorder exists. Define successful? I am happy, have a job I like, am in fantastic shape and enjoy all my hobbies and the things I study for fun. I'm also up 10x in fiat value on my shitcoin stack since January 2017

Stop being depressed is unironically the best advice you will ever get with the possile exception being SSRI's are the worst things you can put into your body.

My dad. Worked his entire life on a full time office job and had his own one man company after his regular ours.

All to support two kids and a dreadfull wife. Stayed together ´for the kids´. He thought me to never give up and always keep going.

What i learned was to never become like him even though i respect him.

Parttime job, never committing to normie life.
