I thought "doing hard things" would be something like a running Marathon, studying or working while having toddlers, learning to be a pro coder as an adult, taking care of your close ones while they are sick.. But it was about doing basic math.

Proving to yourself or anyone else that "you can do hard things" since you did more or less math in school/collage/university will leave you trainwreck at the first real hard thing that bumps your way.

And why some people don't do the math? I guess, because they are told its boring and/or hard, but they should do it anyway. And people don't like to be told what to do.
