How much soldiering on is good 01-07-2013
I still admire that approach to life and find it refreshing when working with people who can "dig in and get on with it".Sometimes that is counter-productive and actually it is smarter to spend a little bit of money, or rest a little bit, or be a little bit more circumspect about whether something needs doing.
I suspect that it is better to err on the side of soldiering on rather than sitting back. None the less it is still worth giving the alternative a moments contemplation along the way.
