Work Like a Lion, Not a Cow

Shaan Puri explains this quote as a philosophy of work. A lion waits and observes, looking for worthy prey. When it sees an opportunity, it sprints with full effort, catches its prey, feasts, and then rests. In contrast, a cow grazes slowly all day. The quote advocates for intense, focused work periods followed by rest and reassessment, rather than constant low-level effort throughout the day.\n\nThis approach is contrasted with the common work style of sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day with minimal productivity, lacking the energy to sprint or the confidence to rest and reassess.
