Achieving success often involves doing boring work
Now there are... individuals who would rather perish than work without taking PLEASURE in their work; they are choosy... and have no use for ample rewards if the work is not itself the reward of rewards... They do not fear boredom as much as work without pleasure; indeed, they need a lot of boredom if THEIR work is to succeed. For... all inventive spirits, boredom is that disagreeable "lull" of the should that preceded a happy voyage and cheerful winds.
