“The real hero is already home”
Speaking of worthwhile quotes, as we near the end of the working day, here’s one from Rework, the new book written by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hanson of 37signals:
“Workaholics aren’t heroes. They don’t save the day, they just use it up. The real hero is already home because she figured out a faster way to get things done.”

This is sad for me to read because some of us don’t want to be workaholics, but are forced to by our jobs/bosses. I don’t even get to be a hero!
Well, it’s a passage about those who work long and aimlessly by choice, because they feel that lots of work equals good work. That doesn’t sound like your situation – although does your boss have that mentality and impose it on you?
She sure does!
