- We need comfort. Some roles yield comfort but are not respected.
We need time. Some roles will give comfort and respect but little time to strive for excellence.

Striving for excellence
Many self-help writers are either telling people to work hard and be productive or practise self-care to avoid burnout. But neither advice is great.
