Nicolas Cole argues that working harder solves most problems because people rarely hit their actual limits. They settle for a perceived ceiling, but pushing past it repeatedly reveals greater capability. Most people never reach their first real capacity barrier.
Working harder and deploying more volume in anything is almost always the easiest right answer. Just work harder. And the reason that's the easiest right answer is because it is the simplest. And it is also the thing that is probably true for the most people in the world, because most people, I think, have not really pushed their capacity. I'm working as hard as I can. And then you push past, you're like, wait, no, actually, this is as hard as I can. And then you do. And then wait, no, this is as hard as I can. So I think that's what makes it such a simple answer, because most people aren't pushing to even the first Barrier of capacity.
