“Don’t work too hard”
In a LinkedIn post last year, The Huffington Post cofounder Arianna Huffington revealed that she’s often asked if young people pursuing their dreams should burn the candle at both ends.
“This couldn’t be less true,” she writes. “And for far too long, we have been operating under a collective delusion that burning out is the necessary price for achieving success.”
She says that she wishes she could go back and tell her younger self, “Arianna, your performance will actually improve if you can commit to not only working hard but also unplugging, recharging and renewing yourself.”
