Work is like crystal meth

(written by Lawrence Krubner, however indented passages are often quotes)

Interesting:

Sometimes work is like crystal meth in it’s addictive capacity. Usually you’re pushed by ambition to achieve in every sense of the word. Sometimes you’re pushed by a fear of losing ground. It’s not as much of a roller coaster as everyone has made it out to be, but I’m usually pretty level. That’s not to say it hasn’t been a powerful experience. I have no doubt that this will change the way that I operate in any professional capacity for the rest of my life. That’s a pretty profound statement, and I’m not exaggerating.
