1. tongue in cheek - my comment was primarily in jest - although most humor takes it base in reality in some way
2. people do - in fact - vary widely in their Work Ethic - in the real world.
3. Although the ratings in the game are of course arbitrary, we see very few WE of 100 - and in life I dont think I have ever met anyone who gave 100% effort every minute - and I work hard with some extremely driven people in very demanding contexts
Sure people vary widely in their work ethic in the real world. That's why you hire and keep the ones with great work ethic.
Your own experiences do not encompass all of reality. That much should be evident since your own experiences run contrary to the fact that some people do give 100 percent effort all the time.
Based upon that, apparently your definition of "extremely driven" is quite loose. I would never label anyone as "extremely driven" if they gave less than 100 percent of their full effort.
luckily, ive missed a bunch of your drivel lately, but this one is pretty bad. what about a 99% worker? 99.99%? still not good enough?
this post is a great example, in showing there will never be a meeting of the minds here. individuals who have evolved beyond our cavemen days generally understand the world is not black and white, and further, that perfection is a goal - a moving target - one that can never be achieved. frankly, if you use anything less as definition for perfection (which you are), you are proving your own imperfection - you are conceding a ceiling, a limit, an inherent imperfection - and lack the vision and mental faculties to even contemplate improvement - where as an individual greater than yourself would continue to improve over time. also you are suggesting anything less than perfection is unacceptable - which to a rational person, borders on insane - that means everything is unacceptable, as nothing is perfect. its like saying the only amount of money you could earn and be satisfied with, is infinity. ok, good luck with that. further, you are sitting here claiming you have achieved this theoretical perfection, which is not only irrational but incredibly narcissistic.
its pretty obvious, nobody can constructively argue with this guy. im sure he will come back with some incredibly lame response about how perfect he is an what slackers we all are, how 99.99% workers are slackers and its our low american standards that makes us think differently. he will probably deny that thinking he is perfect inherently makes him imperfect, using some circular logic and multiple inappropriate usages of the word "fact". all in all, it will only serve to reinforce his own narcissism. please, proceed...
