The general stab of this article is great, but it's a little confusing:
The first few paragraphs bemoan people who are willing to suffer through the valleys to get to the peaks, while the middle of the article is all about how difficult it is to find rewarding experiences and how it usually takes a lot of hard work to see rewards manifest.
Despite his protestations, I think the author does have a sense of "time investment" and is probably often glad he "stuck with it."
