You can outwork everyone around you, but without sufficient rest and recovery, your success may be short-lived.
There is no success without hard work and in order to have more than you do today, you must do more than you did yesterday.
However, your ability to sustain your output of effort and to enjoy the fruits of your labor is largely determined by the quality of your rest and recovery.
You can push your body and mind as hard as you want to, but be aware that you can only do this for so long before they shut down or break to demand that you rest.
Recovery from this will most likely set your progress back much more than if you moved a little slower and pushed a little less hard to allow for rest and recovery in your schedule.
Success without longevity and sustainability, after all, can hardly be considered success.
