“Every industry and career is different but there's universal value in accepting the hassle when reality demands it. Volatility, people having bad days, office politics, difficult personality, bureaucracy. All of them are bad but have to be endured if you want to get anything done. Many managers have little tolerance for non-sense ... but it's just unrealistic... Sitting through periods of insanity is not a defect, it's accepting an optimal level of hassle. Same in business.”
