Gary Vaynerchuk rails against the cultural worship of Fridays, arguing that if you dread weekdays you're wasting over two-thirds of your existence. He frames work as half of life—something that must be meaningful, not endured. The internet, he says, gives everyone the tools to build a career they actually enjoy, making the $3,000 salary bump for a new iPhone a hollow pursuit.
