<p>No pain, no gain. We’ve all heard that before – and it’s true that one way to achieve is through a lot of pain. Good news: there are other ways, too. In this conversation, Jia and I explore how to harness the ambition you already have through easy discipline.</p>
<h3 id="key-points">Key Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pain tolerance is admired and celebrated. When greatness comes through pain, our society cheers it. When greatness comes through loving work, we are suspicious.</li>
<li>Hard discipline and easy discipline both produce results, but easy discipline does so with more joy and sustainability.</li>
<li>Ambitious people often suffer from High Eyes, Low Hands Disease. Higher ambitions create higher expectations that make a gap seem harder to transcend.</li>
<li>In the game of Catan, it’s not the lucky players that win; it’s the most active players. Professional learning follows the same pattern.</li>
<li>The momentum loop is the practice of early action generating greater fuel for later action. Even wrong movements are almost always superior to standing still.</li>
