Cameron Herold argues for working smart instead of grinding. He uses a fly trapped at a closed window as a metaphor: it dies banging against glass when an open door sits nearby. The lesson is to find the path of least resistance instead of exhausting yourself with brute force.

Oh, no. It's about working smart. So I've seen this happen so often, and we've all seen it. You've seen the fly trying to get out the window, and that fly is going to keep banging its head on the window. It's going to keep working so hard to get out that window, and then it ends up dead on the windowsill. And if the fly would step back and look around and see opportunities, it would notice that there's a door right here, that it could fly out the door and it would be free. There's usually a path of least resistance. There's usually an easier way.
