    “Nothing worth doing takes much time”‽ Bullshit. There’s loads and loads of things worth doing that can take years.

    I guess every artist should just stop. Every kid should drop out of school. Every scientific discovery that took more than ten minutes of work should be discarded.

      I came to the comments to object to this one, too. Is it a typo or mistranslation? It should be “everything worth doing takes time”

      If it’s worth doing, then it doesn’t take time.

      Things that take time are tedious and boring. If you think what you’re doing is worth doing, then the time spent on it doesn’t matter.

        Yeah I think that’s it — more in the vein of if something’s worth your time, you will be absorbed in it.
