While some people pay 1 million yen for consulting and work 12 hours a day, feeling "it's still not enough," others are satisfied after just over an hour of work per day, saying "I worked hard." The difference in results to this extent is actually less about talent and much more about where your "standard of success" lies within yourself. Even in the same environment and with the same amount of effort, the world looks completely different depending on that standard.

That's right, that inner scale really matters a lot.

To be honest, it's a mindset issue. People with low standards are always self-satisfied.

Basically, it's a matter of mental preparation.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. People with low standards are satisfied with anything, while those with high standards still feel it's not enough no matter how hard they try.

That's the real truth. If the standard value is incorrect, the entire life is wasted.

Well said, the ceiling of mindset is the ceiling of results.

To put it simply, mental resilience is really more important than anything else. Some people work hard but still feel it's not enough, while others can feel self-satisfied just by lying flat. The key is how you set your expectations for yourself.

That's quite decisive; that internal gauge really determines everything.

If I had that 1 million yen to consult back then, maybe things wouldn't be like this now... Really, the key is this standard value. Some set it ridiculously high and are never satisfied. As for me, I just lie flat and deceive myself. Do I even have the nerve to say "I've tried my best"?
