"NBA champion Metta World Peace (previously known as Ron Artest) has a warning for anyone who thinks they're a hard worker: there's probably someone-maybe even on your team-willing to work even harder than you. It's a career lesson he learnt from Kobe Bryant.In an interview with Fortune's Orianna Rosa Royle at Web Summit Qatar, World Peace revealed that he had heard the late Los Angeles Lakers basketball player was grinding hard at the gym before long days of grueling training."
"The takeaway? High performance is relative. No matter how early you start or how many hours you put in, someone else will be willing to do more. Or as World Peace put it: "There's always somebody out there working harder." Success is simply years of hard work that have compounded For World Peace, the lesson wasn't just about training. It was a reminder that success, on or off the court, is built through patience and daily consistency."
Metta World Peace recounts learning a career lesson from Kobe Bryant after discovering Bryant trained earlier and harder than expected. He found Bryant finished workouts before his 8 a.m. arrival and then returned at 5:30 a.m. to observe Bryant's intense routine. The example illustrates that high performance is relative and that someone else may be willing to outwork you. World Peace connects the lesson to long-term achievement, noting his own 17-year journey to legendary status and adopting the same patience and daily consistency in his entrepreneurial efforts and a $100 million sport-tech venture fund.
