Do people confuse "being a challange" with "feeling like progress is being made"?

I think being "boring" is not cured by being "a challenge" but by a sense of progress that continues to work no matter how far.

I guess that depends on the person...

personally, I don't have much of an interest in the challenge is easy, especially in sports... I definitely prefer it and will enjoy it way more if it's going to get me to work for it

I don't enjoy an easy ride, lol

Being a challenge, I figure, is saying the progress you're making is in the wrong direction. And yes, the best way is directing the work towards something that produces the best outputs.

I always saw "being a challenge" as mostly derailing progress. But "boring too". Most smart people make a lot of progress and the challenging ones are usually dumbasses. But every once in a while you find an Edison type and they challenge us in a new direction that isn't just productive; it changes the entire world.
