Yup, that’s pretty much the way to do it! Good on you for not doing things like they told you to. Too often profits take priority over people.

I just wanted to point out why it made me chuckle. It reminds me of the adhd meme.

> “Have you tried focusing and making lists?”

> thanks, I’m cured! Why hadn’t I thought of that?

As a person who struggles with motivation due to depression, I get similar vibes… but since we’re here—

I actually don’t believe great achievements are “only” achieved when “leadership is simply burning with passion”. Things just aren’t black and white like that. But I DO believe that being an inspired leader goes a long, long way in maintaining a cohesive and positive work force.

Silicon valley houses some of the worlds most successful tech companies, yet are some of the worst perpetrators of worker abuses.

Also, while minor, I think it’s worth pointing out this falls under “life advice”.

> If you want [x], you must do [y].

The literal quote:

> “[…] If you want to inspire [x], you must burn intensely [y].”

That’s literally giving advice to the reader.

To me, this reads “LPT: Lost your inspiration? Try being inspired!”

Not hating. It just made me chuckle.

GOP is at the “They become character” phase. Let’s stop them from reaching their final form, yeah?
