Neither the claim that great things only come without force nor the call for constant discipline describes reality.

One brand of idiots will claim that pushing yourself is a bad thing, that great things only come without force. (Have they known any genuinely productive people?) Another brand of idiots will sell you on the necessity of constant discipline, of grinding until your last breath. (At some point they will do ayahuasca and have a psychedelic influencer arc.) Clearly neither group of people is describing reality.
