Yeah, I also have mixed feelings about this post. Everyone learns differently and is able to become successful differently. There isn't a single path set in stone. For example, I find that if I code , when learning new technologies, more than 3 hours straight and push too hard it becomes counter productive, and thats my 110% ,which could look very different than someone else's 110%.

Also, when coding and hitting a wall, I often forget about it , go watch TV, listen music or do something else and when I come back to it later , I am able to tackle the problem and often solve it. So classifying watching TV as a waste of time is kind of judgy and condescending.

Overall, number #6 was my favorite one. Success is not an overnight event. LITTLE BY LITTLE , A LITTLE BECOMES A LOT.
