Love the cartoon. I called out one of the dream sellers on this and they didn't know what to say. The difference is knowing if your baseline can sustain linenear, straight- line growth or not. If you had a savings account with interest that paid out 37% the linear growth makes you a rich man. Of course, to get 37% return is usually only possible in the market where growth goes up and down. Same for human progress. If you are new to guitar and learn 3 chords in your first week, you have a huge jump from your baseline. Then you will go on a huge chunk of time where progress is flat or regressive. If you persist over weeks, months, and years your improvement will become proficient.

I think for people showing up every day and making best effort is a better than a made up mantra that sets up one for disappointment.

Thanks. Am following.
