Aim for longevity & sustainability. Of course there will be times that are punishing and pressurised but they should be calculated (and short). Have work-life boundaries, build your stamina, and treasure your health. Your work will be stronger for it, not weaker. 👊 🖋(2/2)
It’s

Agreed. I’m in my twenties but quarantining. I could spread this disease to others - especially with a weak immune system - and many more people my age are becoming seriously ill. Grab some snacks, put a fight on, and STAY IN.
Well-timed stoppage and a superb fight. The courage. The quality. Competitive throughout but I’m in awe of Beterbiev’s resilience and control.

The idea that "stay-at-home" companies might even engineer a specific virus to keep people at home could be a good idea for a sci-fi series to binge watch while staying at home to avoid a virus...
Joyce’s pedigree and experience showed throughout. Durable, composed. Really rated how he used the jab. Hope Dubois injury isn’t too serious too. Great fight
